ABSTRACT:
For use with a three-phase split boost converter having a primary stage with a primary rectifier and first and second primary boost switches coupled between an input and first and second outputs of the three-phase split boost converter, an auxiliary stage interposed between the input and the first and second outputs, a method of reducing input current total harmonic distortion (THD) and a converter incorporating the auxiliary stage or the method. In one embodiment, the auxiliary stage includes: (1) first, second and third auxiliary boost inductors coupled to corresponding phases of the input and (2) an auxiliary boost network interposed between the first, second and third auxiliary boost inductors and the first and second outputs and including (2a) an auxiliary three phase full-wave rectifier, (2b) first and second auxiliary boost diodes, and (2c) first and second auxiliary boost switches, coupled between the auxiliary three phase full-wave rectifier and the first and second auxiliary boost diodes, that cooperate to conduct currents through the first, second and third auxiliary boost inductors to reduce input current total harmonic distortion (THD) at the input of the three-phase split boost converter.
