related video: PSPICE simulation of APFC inductor current and core losses (CCM)
An intuitive explanation on how to estimate the rms value of the APFC inductor’s ripple current and the high frequency component of th magnetic flux density needed to estimate core losses. The APFC control used in simulation is based on the metod of APFC control without sensing of input voltage.
