Abstract: Abstract Bridgeless single-ended primary induction (SEPIC) converter for power factor correction (PFC) is proposed. The proposed single phase rectifier has 1 switch and 2 fast diodes. The output voltage depends on the switching frequency of the MOSFET. This converter produces low conduction loss, low total harmonic reduction and high power factor reaching near-unity. The proposed PFC Bridgeless SEPIC converter is made to operate in continous induction current mode to achieve high power factor at ac main. The output voltage depends on the switching frequency of the MOSFET. The analysis, design, and performance evaluation of proposed topology is simulated in MATLAB/Simulink.

Design Calculation of Bridgeless SEP1C Converter Circuit
The fundamental operation of the SEPIC converter is, at the point when the switch Si is. turned on, the inductance Li is charged, in the meantime the inductance L2 reads energy from the capacitance C2.The output Capacitance Co supplies the load. At the point when the MOSFET switch SI is turned of£ Li charges Ci and also supplies the current to load. L2 is connected to the load.
Using the equation (1),(2),(3) and (4) ,the SEPIC Converter is designed for a constant link voltage Vom =60V , Vin= 195 V to 230V, I=2.5A, Ll=L2=L=330mH.
The Proposed system Bridgeless SEPIC circuit is shown in Fig 3. In this proposed system, there is single MOSFET switch replacing the two MOSFETs, which helps to reduce high conduction loss and reduce the size of the converter. In this proposed to reduce the complexity of controller circuit. The closed loop of Bridgeless SEPIC converter circuit shown in Fig 5. In this system has two loop control method. One is outer layer (voltage control) and another one is inner layer (current control).voltage control is used to control the output voltage distabusion
Bridge less SEPIC Converter output wave form
The proposed system is simulated using MATLAB / Simulink. The input voltage is changed from 195V to 230V (normal supply voltage) and the power factor, output voltage, output current readings are taken and tabulated in Table I. The tabulated values are clearly showing, the power factor is maintained near-unity with less voltage and current ripple.

single stage Bridgeless SEPIC converter has been proposed and verified with MATLAB simulink and the results are compared with traditional SEPIC. The main advantage of the Bridgeless SEPIC Converter is proved as, power factor reaching near-unity with low Voltage stress, low Total Harmonic Distortion under input voltage variations. The study is also proving that, the proposed circuit would be more suitable for low power applications
