Described are improvements in power factor control and systems embodying said improved power factor control. Improvements lie in a method of zero voltage switching in which a capacitor (Cres) is placed in parallel with a switching device (T1) , and the switching device (T1) is operated responsive to a change in the polarity of the current through the capacitor (Cres). Switching therefore occurs at zero or close to zero voltage across the switching device (T1) in both on and off modes resulting in very low switching losses and electromagnetic interference. Systems employing the method include a power factor controller, LED light source, boost converter and a power source comprising one or more photovoltaic cells. |
