Do you agree with the following…
The theoretical idea of a Boost PFC stage is to make mains input current sinusoidal and in phase with the mains input voltage.
..However, in practical terms, that is not the ultimate goal.
The ultimate goal is to make a Boost stage which passes the regulations on PFC (EN61000-3-2), without necessarily providing a perfect sinusoidal input current. In fact, what you really want is a Boost stage which passes the PFC regulations and yet has a fast-as-possible transient response, and also stays stable under all conditions.
…And in fact, if your boost PFC stage is producing an almost perfectly sinusoidal mains input current, then it will not be properly optimised in these practical terms.
Do you agree?
