Original Abstract

The paper deals with an improvement of the Valley-Fill (VF) Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuit for Electronic Ballast (EB), which reduces input harmonic current emissions in compliance with EN 61000-3-2 standard and at the same time keeps an output voltage ripple at minimal value as it is necessary for possible assurance of good operation characteristics of an electronic ballast with such type of the power factor correction circuit.
