Hi,
Would you agree that in the attached (60kHz fsw) Boost PFC simulation in LTspice....(jpeg scm also)
The 100Hz ripple current in Cout is 2Arms
The >60kHz ripple in Cout is 2.62Arms
The Total ripple current in Cout is 3.3Arms (this ones obvious as you just CTRL-LeftClick Cout to get it)

Do you agree that the filters shown separate to the Boost PFC cct are correct ways of stripping out these current measurements?

Hi,

I havn't run your simulation, but have you tried to perform a FFT? This can be done in LTspice with no effort (build in), and would show the contributers across the complete frequency band of question.
