An analytical procedure for power factor optimization is prcscntcd and thc opcration modcs of thc proposcd unity powcr factor parallcl resonant convcrter UPFPRC nrc dcscrihcd. Simplc analytical dcsign cquations arc dcrivcd and thc iiiflucncc or thc diffcrcnt circuit paramctcrs is in vcs t i gat cd .
