Power factor correction circuit switching method for reducing leakage current

Abstract

A power factor correction (PFC) circuit switching method can include coupling a PFC circuit and AC power to enable a controller to perform an initial charging operation on an output capacitor to firstly increase an output capacitor voltage, enabling the controller to secondly increase the output capacitor voltage in response to whether the firstly-increased output capacitor voltage reaches a first preset reference voltage, and enabling the controller to switch first and second poles configured in the PFC circuit at different duty ratios in response to whether the secondly-increased output capacitor voltage reaches a second preset reference voltage.
