This paper extends the application of power factor correction with boost converter. Boost-type power factor correction is the process of power factor correction (PFC) is used to improve power factor of electrical systems by modifying the current waveform. The boost-type PFC encapsulates its fundamental principles and objectives, highlighting its role in enhancing power factor. A low power factor in electrical systems can lead to inefficient energy utilization, increased line losses, and reduced system capacity. Boost-type PFC aims to address these issues by optimizing power factor and enhancing overall energy efficiency. The boost-type PFC circuit typically comprises a boost converter, control loop, and capacitor bank. The boost converter modifies waveform or shape of source current to synchronize with the voltage waveform, minimizing the difference in phase between current and voltage and improving power factor. Implementing boost-type PFC allows electrical systems to achieve a higher power factor, resulting in reduced reactive power, minimized line losses, and improved overall system efficiency. This technique finds wide-ranging applications in various domains, including industrial machinery, power supplies, and renewable energy systems
