Here zig-zag transformer is used as the current injection device so that the advantages pertaining to zig-zag transformer is utilized effectively. The third harmonic current injection device along with the three-level boost converter at the output stage will increase the dc-link voltage. Also, the power quality is well improved using third harmonic current modulated front-end structure which is well appropriate to medium/higher power applications. The experimental prototype of hybrid front-end PFC rectifier is developed in the laboratory to validate the MATLAB simulation results. © 2017 IEEE.Front-end rectifierPFCpower qualityTHDthird harmonic hybrid current injectionthree-level boost converterzig-zag transformer
