3 Harmonic content measurement
The board has been tested according to the European standard EN61000-3-2 Class-D and
Japanese standard JEITA-MITI Class-D, at both the nominal input voltage mains. As shown
in Figure 5 and 6, the circuit is able to reduce the harmonics well below the limits of both
regulations.
On the bottom side of the diagrams the total harmonic distortion and power factor have also
been measured. The values in all conditions give a clear idea about the correct functioning
of the PFC.

THD = 5.13 % - PF = 0.965 THD = 3.89 % - PF = 0.996
