Abstract—This Paper presents power factor (P.F) correction control of three phase Induction motor drive using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) current control technique. Single-phase boost rectifier is used to obtain near unity power factor and to reduce harmonic distortion in the main supply. This is illustrated in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment.

Index Terms—Power factor correction boost-converter, PWM inverter, three phase Induction motor drive.
