Abstract
Electrical converters of the present disclosure feature a boost circuit that is fully integrated with a three phase bridge rectifier to allow for obtaining a pulsed voltage at the rectifier output. Actively switchable semiconductor switches of the boost circuit are controlled by pulse width modulation (PWM) control signals to obtain the pulsed voltage. PWM of this pulsed voltage allows control of two out of three currents at the three input terminals of the rectifier, i.e., the currents at the phase inputs having the highest and the lowest voltage levels of the three phase input voltage.
