ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for supplying a direct current power source which is capable of compensating a power factor of an input power source by detecting an input current amount according to load changes, the apparatus comprising an input current detecting unit for detecting an input current amount to determine a load size, a power factor control unit for outputting a power factor control signal and an input current amount control signal according to the determined load size, an input current refluxing unit for refluxing the input current by cutting off an input power source based upon the input current amount control signal, an active filter for reducing a harmonic of the input current, rectifying an input alternating current (AC) voltage and boosting a smoothing voltage, a power factor compensating unit for supplying charged energy to the load based upon the power factor control signal, a smoothing unit for smoothing the rectified input AC voltage into a direct current (DC) voltage, and an inverter for converting the smoothed DC voltage into an AC voltage, whereby a power factor compensation (PFC) spec can be satisfied although the load is increased and fabricating cost can be decreased by allowing the use of a reactor with a low capacity.
