A Study on AC/DC Full Bridge Converter With Single Stage Circuit

단일전력단으로 구성된 AC/DC 풀 브리지 컨버터에 관한 연구

A single stage AC/DC converter based on a full bridge topology suitable for high frequency soft switching converter applications is proposed. The proposed converter has high power factor, zero voltage switching, low noise and high efficiency. A pulse width modulation control is employed to reduce the switching and rectification losses respectively. This proposal converter has simple structure and low cost, The modelling and detailed analysis are performed to derive the design equations, a prototype converter has been designed and experimented. The new converter is attractive for high-voltage, high-power applications where IGBT's are predominantly used as the power switches. The principle of operation, features, and design are verified on a 1.5kW, 30kHz, IGBT based experimental circuit.
