A new 3-phase back (or current-source-type) PWM-PFC rectifier is proposed in this paper. The necessity,the advantages and disadvantages of this type PWM rectifier are discussed first.Then,the new power circuit topology and the modulation scheme to eliminate or mitigate the disadvantages and obtain further new advantages of the buck PWM rectifier are introduced.The features of the new rectifier, i.e., high efficiency, simple modulation process, robustness of the line-current modulation for distortion of the utility voltages and DC current ripples have been confirmed through experimental results obtained from a 12kW prototype.
