Due to this generalized approach, new topologies have been obtained, and the study of other known topologies has been simplified. The new analytical method simplifies the design of S2PFCs by making it possible to compare a large number of different designs from the same viewpoint in order to identify the best topology. Finally, this research has enabled us to reduce the total size of the additional inductors that are used by a factor of two to three with respect to previous implementations. %K Tecnología Electrónica %K Armónicos actuales %K Normas IEC 61000-3-2 %K Cargas no lineales %K Corrección del factor de potencia (PFC) %~ GOEDOC, SUB GOETTINGEN
