The input voltage given to a converter is
$${V_i} = 100\sqrt 2 \,\,\,\sin \,\,\,\left( {100\pi t} \right)\,\,V$$
The current drawn by the converter is
$${i_i} = 10\sqrt 2 \,\,\,\sin \,\,\,\left( {100\pi t - {\pi \over 3}} \right)\,\, + 5\sqrt 2 $$
$$\sin \left( {300\pi t + {\pi \over 4}} \right)\,\, + \,\,2\sqrt 2 \,\,\sin \left( {500\pi t - {\pi \over 6}} \right)A$$
