This research presents a new active auxiliary resonant snubber with for induction heating PWM high frequency inverter solving the problem of induction heating PWM high frequency inverter circuit which is using widely in the practical application of an induction heating apparatus, the soft switching operation and power control are impossible when the lowest power supply in the active auxiliary resonant snubber with for induction heating PWM high frequency inverter. The inverter circuit which is attempted by the on-off operation of a switch has the effect of reducing the power loss due to soft switching and high frequency switching. This confirms that power regulation is possible on a continuous basis from 0.25[kW] to 2.84[kW] where the duty factor(D) changes from 0.08 to 0.3 under zero current switching which operates by an asymmetrical pulse width modulating control. The power conversion efficiency is 95[%]. Due to these results, the active auxiliary resonant snubber for an induction heating PWM high frequency inverter is considered effective as a source of induction heating.

This paper presents a prototype of three-phase current source zero voltage soft-switching PWM controlled PFC rectifier with Single Active Auxiliary Resonant Commutated Snubber (ARCS) circuit topology. The proposed three-phase PFC rectifier with sinewave current shaping and unity power factor scheme can operate under a condition of Zero Voltage Soft Switching (ZVS) in the main three phase rectifier circuit and zero current soft switching (ZCS) in auxiliary snubber circuits. The operating principle and steady-state performances of the proposed three-phase current source soft-switching PWM controlled PFC rectifier controlled by the DSP control implementation are evaluated and discussed on the basis of the experimental results of this active rectifier setup.

This paper proposes a new active snubber boost PFC converter to provide a zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) turn-on condition and reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise in home appliances and renewable energy applications, including solar or fuel cell electric systems. The proposed active snubber circuit enables a main boost switch of the boost-type PFC or grid converter to turn on under a ZVS condition and reduce the switching losses of the main boost switch. Moreover, for the purpose of a specialized intelligent power module (IPM) fabrication, the proposed boost circuit is designed to satisfy some design aspects such as space saving, low cost, and easy fabrication. Simulation and experimental results of a 2kW IPM boost-type PFC converter are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed active snubber boost circuit.

The single sensor technique reconstructing phase currents from the dc-link current without phase current sensors in proposed. When the duration of active vector is too short for the snubber current to reduce, the dc-link current including the snubber current gives large detection error. The solution is presented by analyzing the snubber current and modifying the switching sequences. This scheme is simple, requires only one sampling a period and has good results for detecting the phase currents.

A new soft switched active snubber circuit is proposed to achieve zero voltage and zero current switching for all the switching devices in PWM DC-DC converters. The unique location of the snubber and inductor ensures low current/voltage stresses and commutation losses. With a saturable reactor, the conduction loss of auxiliary switch could be further minimized. A boost converter adopting this technique is presented as an example, to illuminate its operation principles and derive the design procedures. Simulation and hardware implementation have been made to validate its performance. Some other basic PWM DC-DC topologies using the proposed snubber have also been given.

This paper proposes a new pair of Active Snubber Cells (ASCs) which can fully provide soft switching for a Floating-output Double Boost Converter (FDBC). Besides that, the introduced ASCs are applicable for all basic DC-DC converters. Main switches of the FDBC turn on and off with ZVS. However, the main diodes are ZCS turned off. Furthermore Snubber switches are turned on and off with ZCS and ZVS respectively. It worthy to mention also that the soft switching for snubber diodes of the presented cells is achieved. A 1.5kW, 100kHz prototype of the FDBC with the proposed ASCs was built and evaluated; and the maximum attained efficiency is 97.3%.
