A boost converter is to be employed as part of a power factor correction circuit. The input is 220 v rms 60 Hz single phase and the output is 400 V dc. It is to supply a dc load drawing 10 A.
a) Find the duty cycle as a function of time.
b) Find the peak inductor current by assuming the boost converter is 100% efficient.
c) Estimate the capacitance for a 2% output voltage ripple.
