4. Introduction The Uncorrected Power Factor rectifying circuit draws current from the ac line when the ac voltage exceeds the capacitor voltage (V bulk ). The current (I line ) is non- sinusoidal. This results in a poor power factor condition where the apparent input power is much higher than the real power, figure above, power factor ratios of 0.5 to 0.7 are common.
