Abstract: The present project relates to designing of a cuk converter for improving power factor at AC main supply for the PMBLDC motor. In the work an electronic communication technique is used as the motor requires a distortion less controlled DC voltage served to Voltage Source Inverter. The main reason to implement the project is to achieve betterment in the performance of the motor. The work overcomes the problems associated with less power factor of AC main supply. The project helps in eliminating current harmonics generally appears at source input supply by employing a closed loop procedure. A converter called cuk converter and DBR are used for DC to DC and for AC to DC conversion respectively. The analysis of power quality is observed by using a software MATLAB/Simulink and implementation on hardware is also done to verify the analysis.
