This paper presents an improved three-phase PFC power rectifier with a three-phase diode rectifier cascaded four-switch boost converter. Its operating principle contains the operating principle of two conventional three-phase PFC power rectifiers: one switch boost converter type and a two switch boost converter type. The operating characteristics of the four switch boost converter type three-ph...

We design, fabricate and experimentally demonstrate a highly efficient adiabatic mode converter for coupling light into a silicon slot waveguide with a slot width as large as 320 nm. This strip-to-slot mode converter is optimized to provide a measured insertion loss as low as 0.08 dB. Our mode converter provides 0.1 dB lower loss compared to a conventional V-shape mode converter. This mode conv...

We propose a new converter control scheme for a converter–inverter system. The strategy is to fully utilize the inverter dynamics in controlling the converter dynamics. We obtain the power dynamics for both converter and inverter systems, and control the converter power so that it matches the required inverter power exactly. Then, in the ideal case, no power flows through the dc-link capacitors...

A non-isolated high voltage gain DC-DC converter has been presented in this paper. The boost, SEPIC and modified SEPIC converters were nalyzed and their performance was compared with the proposed converter. The proposed converter has been designed for the input voltage of 5 V and an output voltage of 150 V with 100 W output power. The efficiency of the converter obtained was 92.5%, which is hig...

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a different type of converter circuit used to drive switched reluctance motors. It continues with detailed discussion on the resonant converter armed at minimizing or eliminating the transistors switching losses. Finally the drive has been tested on a disc-type reluctance motor for the perfomance and functionality.

Matrix converter is basically direct three phase to three phase converter and it’s operation is based upon switching pattern of all nine switches, which are available in this converter. The output of ac converter is fed as the input of three phase induction motor. The performance of three phase matrix converter fed induction motor drive is analyzed by the switching pattern obtained by matrix co...

This paper presents a new soft switching flyback-forward PWM converter. The proposed circuit employs an auxiliary circuit to achieve soft switching condition for switches and also absorbs the voltage spikes caused by the leakage inductance of transformers in the converter. In the proposed converter main switch operates at ZVS and the auxiliary switch operates at ZCS. The proposed converter has ...
