In this paper, a new structure of step-up dc-dc converter by using coupled inductor and active-clamped circuit is proposed. The proposed converter generates high voltage gain in comparison with the conventional dc-dc converters. Duo to using active-clamped circuit in the proposed topology the voltage stress on main switch is reduced. In addition the zero voltage switching (ZVS) in ON-state of m...

Abstract  In his paper a new current-controlled conveyor (CCCII) in CMOS technology is presented. It features, low supply voltage (±0.7), low power consumption, low circuit complexity, rail to rail operation and wide range parasitic resistance ( ). The circuit has been successfully employed in a multifunction biquad filter. Simulation results by HSPICE show high performance of the circuit and c...

This paper investigates the dynamic behavior of Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) process for two types of power supplies –inverter and rectifier- for short circuit transfer mode. The large ripples on the rectifier power source are able to perturb the metal transfer mode. In this experimental work some operating points in the short circuit mode have been selected using an automatic pipeline welding ...

Increasing the short circuit current due to the penetration of distributed generations (DGs) in various voltage levels and meshed topology is a basic problem in power systems. Using fault current limiter (FCL) is an efficient approach to mitigate the exceeded short circuit levels. In this paper, a new approach is presented for multiple FCLs locating to decrease short circuit levels in meshed ne...

In this paper, genetic algorithm-based approach for transient analysis of single transmission line connected to arrester is proposed. In this approach, the lightning channel striking the overhead line is first represented by a current source and this source is truncated by a finite set of frequency harmonies in time domain. Norton equivalent circuit viewed across arrester is then computed by me...

In this paper a new approach for design of class-AB current-mode square-root domain filters based on the electronically simulated translinear loop principle is presented. FG-MOS transistors that operate in strong inverted saturation region are employed for implementation of translinear loop circuit. The filter achieves immunity to body effect, low circuit complexity, large input dynamic ran...

Design and construction of a stable current supply with protection circuits are described. The reported circuit provides a high-stable and high-level current variable from 0.5-1.2 A with the protect ion circuits to prevent over load current, voltage and off-range temperature operation. A detailed analysis of the circuit parameters is given and the time behaviors of the load voltage/current and ...
