Abstract

The application provides a method for controlling a PFC circuit including a diode bridge arm, DNPC bridge arm and capacitor group connected in parallel. The control method includes: switching working mode of the PFC circuit back and forth between first mode and third mode via second mode in each switching cycle when positive half cycle of a modulation wave is modulated, and switching working mode of the PFC circuit back and forth between sixth mode and fourth mode via fifth mode in each switching cycle when negative half cycle of the modulation wave is modulated. The durations of the second and fifth modes are as short as possible, thereby decreasing a current flowing into or out from midpoint of the capacitor group, and reducing voltage fluctuation at the midpoint. The application further provides a PFC circuit using the control method and a power conversion device having the PFC circuit.
