A novel passive input current waveshaping filter for single-phase rectifiers proposed in this paper. It is shown that the novel topology maintains high input power factor, high quality input current waveforms and low rectifier current stress. The relevant input current and voltage waveforms, the input current total harmonic distortion and the input power factor value are derived from the computer simulation or theoretical analysis. Finally, theoretical results have been verified on an experimental model.
