| Abstract | Reliability plays an important role in power electronic systems such as spacecrafts, aircrafts and telecommunications. Therefore it is necessary to calculate the failure rate, repair cost etc before designing a power supply for such applications. In this paper single switch boost Power Factor Correction (PFC) converter and interleaved boost PFC converter is simulated in Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM), Critical Conduction Mode (CRM) and Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) under different output power ratings and results are tabulated. The reliability of semiconductor devices and all other components of the converter are calculated based on MIL-HDBK-217 standard. From the simulation results it is found that both single switch boost PFC converter and interleaved boost PFC converter performance when operating in CCM is better with reference to reliability. |
