A Technique for Reducing Rectifier Reverse-Recovery-Related Losses in High-Power Boost Converters - Power Electronics, IEEE Transactions on
نویسنده
چکیده
A circuit technique that reduces the boost-converter losses caused by the reverse-recovery current of the rectifier is described. The losses are reduced by inserting an inductor in the series path of the boost switch and rectifier to control the di=dt rate of the rectifier during its turn off. The energy from the inductor after the boost switch turn off is returned to the input or delivered to the output via an active snubber.

Novel nonlinear-carrier (NLC) controllers are proposed for high-power-factor boost rectifiers. In the NLC controllers, the switch duty ratio is determined by comparing a signal derived from the main switch current with a periodic, nonlinear carrier waveform. As a result, the average input current follows the input line voltage. The technique is suitable for boost converters operating in the con...
