This thesis, based on the boost converter topology, is to design and implement a 1-kW power factor corrector (PFC). Except the rectified function, the power quality and harmonic distortion are stiudied in continuous-conduction mode (CCM). In addition, the square-law error estimate is used as the control reference, which achieves average current control for stabilizing the output current. In implementation, IC UC3854 is used to perform the PFC converter. Experimatal results show that the PFC performance almost meets the estmations.
