Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) is a versatile renewable energy sources that can be used in a wide range of applications. This paper presents a basic principle of PEM Fuel Cell, its operation and control when it connects with the interleaving 4 Phase DC Boost Converter. The power rating of DC Converter in this paper is about 1.2kW., input voltage 26V, output voltage 60V and output current 46 A. The result shows that the operation of 4 Phase Interleaved DC Converter together with 1.2kW of PEM Fuel Cell has a good performance. The efficiency of the overall system is around 85 – 95% when the experiment is set to a constant output voltage
