description The current article suggests the use of a sandwiched isolated AC-DC converter for a brushless direct current (BLDC) motor driver to improve power quality as per IEC/IEEE standards. Asymmetrical converter functions as an isolated buck-boost during positive cycle (PC) and works like an isolated SEPIC during negative cycle (NC) of the source voltage. The sandwiching of a fourth order converter with a second order converter lowers the system’s net order. The input inductor of the NC converter takes care of harmonics during NC, and the same inductor, along with an external capacitor, acts as a filter during PC and thus omits the need for a filter. In this work, the system is designed to function in null current switching (NCS) mode. NCS mode requires less rating/smaller components and senses DC link voltage only, unlike non null current switching (NNCS), which needs high rating/larger components along with additional sensors to sense source voltage and current. The use of this asymmetrical converter in NCS mode eliminates the bridge rectifier, a low pass filter, network completion diodes (generally used in bridgeless configuration), and extra sensors, resulting in system efficiency and compactness. Elaborated mathematics, state space models, and stability analysis of the converter are added in the article to check the stability of the presented converter, and outcomes of the system under different conditions are presented and studied to verify the working of the system.
