In this paper, a circuit for power factor correction by implementing Power Factor Correction(PFC) circuit with boost converter in the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor drive is developed. The control of PMSM drive used is Field Oriented Control using Space Vector Modulation. The simulation is carried out with and without power factor correction controller and analysis of input current waveform is done. The power factor correction circuit proposed here improves the power factor and reduces harmonic distortion. Simulation work is performed using MATLAB / SIMULINK environment.
