A Power Factor Correction (PFC) and sensorless speed control of BLDC (Brushless DC) motor using zeta converter is presented. Zeta converter is a fourth-order DC-DC converter made up of two inductors and two capacitors and capable of operating in either step-up or step-down mode. The PFC is achieved by zeta converter. Sensorless speed control of BLDC motor is achieved and the cost and wiring of sensors are reduced. A MATLAB/ Simulink environment is used to simulate the developed model to achieve a wide range of speed control with high PF (Power Factor) and improved PQ (Power Quality) at the supply.
