Abstract

This paper presents a novel prototype of soft-switching PWM Full-bridge converter which incorporates active power switches in series with each rectifier diode in transformer secondary side. Switching and conduction losses of all the switches and devices are reduced as well as commutating current and circulating current flowing through transformer as compared with conventional converter. And duty ratio of primary switches is constant for maximum voltage conversion ratio. But this converter can be varied output by duty ratio of secondary switches. Operation principles basically the same as that of the PWM Full-bridge converter published previously. The operating characteristics of this converter are illustrate and discussed including the simulated analysis.
