Each rectifier processes different part of the current waveform at the input, so that the sum of the current waveform parts is sinusoidal, or multilevel. Analyzing existing literature, the UHTR with Boost converter and isolation transformer, is proven as a classic solution with high weight, volume and cost. Therefore, in 2019 the UHTR with Boost converter was proposed, without any isolation transformer. To do this, it was necessary to replace the Boost inductor of each Rectifier 2 module with a coupled inductor. However, the proposed UHTR has not described the coupled inductor in details, neither the control circuit and the decoupling of the power circuit with the control circuit were described. Therefore, this main objective this paper is to provide answers to those aspects, and consequently present the UHTR proposal in a more realistic and practical application way, thus favoring the implementation of the prototype. A simulation of the proposed UHTR with coupled inductor was performed in the PSIM version 12.0 software with a power of 20 kW. The results of the proposed UHTR show that there is no current interaction and it works correctly, having a high PF of 99.92% and low total harmonic distortion of 3.96% at full load. In this way, it is proven that it is possible to implement an UHTR with a Boost converter and using coupled inductor.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/electronics13101864","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,13]],"date-time":"2024-05-13T08:33:03Z","timestamp":1715589183000},"page":"1864","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Unidirectional Hybrid Three-Phase Rectifier with Boost Converter and Coupled Inductor"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1858-9864","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 Teixeira","family":"Gon\u00e7alves","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Engenharia El\u00e9trica, Faculdade de Engenharia e Tecnologia (FET), Universidade do Namibe, Namibe 274, Angola"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0536-3113","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stanimir","family":"Valtchev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Engenharia Eletrot\u00e9cnica e de Computadores, CTS\/UNINOVA, FCT, FCT Campus Caparica, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, 2829-516 Monte Caparica, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Euclides","family":"Luis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Engenharias e Tecnologias, ISPTEC\u2014Instituto Superior Polit\u00e9cnico de Tecnologias e Ci\u00eancias, Luanda 2850, Angola"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8311-7412","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Frede","family":"Blaabjerg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Energy Technology, University of Aalborg, Pontoppidanstr\u00e6de 111, 9220 Aalborg \u00d8st, Denmark"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Kolar, J.W., and Ertl, H.
