Zero-Voltage and Zero-Current-Switching Full-Bridge PWM Converter Using Secondary Active Clamp
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new zero-voltage and zero-current-switching (ZVZCS) full-bridge (FB) pulsewidth modulation (PWM) converter is proposed to improve the performance of the previously presented ZVZCS FB PWM converters. By adding a secondary active clamp and controlling the clamp switch moderately, ZVS (for leading-leg switches) and ZCS (for lagging-leg switches) are achieved without adding any lossy components or the saturable reactor. Many advantages including simple circuit topology, high efficiency, and low cost make the new converter attractive for high-voltage and high-power (>10 kW) applications. The principle of operation is explained and analyzed. The features and design considerations of the new converter are also illustrated and verified on a 1.8-kW 100-kHz insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT)-based experimental circuit.

Analysis and Simulation of ZVS Methods in Full Bridge Converters and Realization of a 3 KW Prototype
One of the difficulties with PWM switching converters is high switching loss and electromagnetic interference due to switching at non-zero voltage and current, which limits the operating frequency. In order to reduce the converter volume and weight (by increasing the frequency) and reducing switching losses, zero voltage and current switching methods are recommended. In this paper, four main ze...
