This paper presents about the comparison between single-phase PFC Cuk converter and bridgeless PFC (BPFC) Cuk converter for low power application. This study attempts to investigate the characteristics of conventional and bridgeless PFC Cuk converter structures with three different output voltages and verified by the simulation results. The BPFC Cuk converter provides a lower Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of input current than the conventional PFC Cuk converter. However, the conventional PFC Cuk converter has advantage of less maximum current stress at components compared to the BPFC Cuk converter. Conventional and BPFC Cuk converter can achieve an approximately unity power factor (PF).
