A full bridge rectifier is widely used in the front end of the ac/dc converter. Since the shortcomings of the full bridge rectifier, the bridgeless rectifier is developed. A BLB rectifier topology is utilized with the hold-up time extension circuit. Unlike the traditional hold-up time extension circuit, the proposed extension scheme uses fewer active switches to achieve a longer hold-up time. Simulation results are presented to verify the converter performance.}, journal = {International Journal of Electronics and Communication Engineering}, volume = {10}, number = {10}, year = {2016}, pages = {1357 - 1360}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10005687}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/118}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 118, 2016}, }
