The invention belongs to the technical field of household appliances, and particularly relates to a
power factor correction
control circuit and a household appliance, the circuit comprises a
rectifier module, a switch device, a
load circuit and a controller, the
rectifier module is connected to an
AC power supply; the switching device is electrically connected with the
rectifier module; two ends of the
load circuit are respectively connected with two ends of the switching device, and the
load circuit is provided with a variable frequency motor; the controller is electrically connected with the control end of the switching device, and the controller is configured to execute the following steps: obtaining the input
voltage of the load circuit, the output current of the rectifier module and the
voltage control quantity of the variable frequency motor; according to the input
voltage and a preset
voltage reference value, a step-up rate is calculated; and determining a
control signal of the switching device according to the boost rate and the output current, so that the switching device executes conduction control according to the
control signal. The
bus voltage can be adaptively adjusted, the device loss is reduced, the hardware cost is reduced, and the efficiency is improved.
