This paper studies the scope and object of international standards related to power supplies and semiconductor convertors. IEC 60478 and IEC 60686 are international standards for stabilized power supplies with DC and AC output, respectively, and IEC 61204 for low-voltage power supply devices with DC output. IEC 60146 : Semiconductor Convertors is a representative international standard in the field of semiconductor convertors. In this field, there are some international standards such as IEC 60971. IEC 61136-1. IEC 61800. and etc.. In this paper, IEC 60686, 60971, 61136-1, and 61240 are mainly studied.

In this paper, a new high step up DC/DC converter with a modified super-lift technique is presented. The coupled inductor technique is combined with the super-lift technique to provide a tenfold or more voltage gain with a proper duty cycle and a low turn ratio. Due to a high conversion ratio, the voltage stress on the semiconductor devices is reduced. As a result, low voltage ultra-fast recovery diodes and low on resistance MOSFET can be used, which improves the reverse recovery problems and conduction losses. This converter employs a passive clamp circuit to recycle the energy stored in the leakage inductance. The proposed convertor features a high conversion ratio with a low turn ratio, low voltage stress, low reverse recovery losses, omission of the inrush currents of the switch capacitor loops, high efficiency, small volume and reduced cost. This converter is suitable for renewable energy applications. The operational principle and a steady-state analysis of the proposed converter are presented in details. A 200W, 30V input, 380V output laboratory prototype circuit is implemented to confirm the theoretical analysis.

Small electric motors in an automobile perform various tasks such as engine cooling, pumping, HVAC etc. At present, most of them are DC motors supplied by 12V or 24V batteries. However, DC motors suffer from low efficiency, life cycles and reliability. Therefore, there is a growing interest in substituting DC motors for advanced at motors including switched reluctance motors(SRM). Although there are several other forms SRM convertors, they are either unsatisfactory to the control performance or unsuitable for the 12V battery source. Especially, a conventional asymmetric converter of SRM provides the best flexible and effective control to the current waveform of SRM, but it has the most switches and produces conducting voltage drops across two power switches during SRM operation. For automotive applications with a 12V battery source, this circuit is inadequate. For considering the requirement for effective operation and simple structure of converter in the limited internal circumstance of automobiles, the author inclines toward selecting Modified C-dump converter and Energy efficient c-dump converter.

A bidirectional secondary LLC resonant converter with auxiliary switches and an additional inductor is proposed to achieve the high gain characteristics of LLC resonant convertors. Auxiliary switches, an additional inductor and a resonant capacitor are connected in the high voltage secondary side of the proposed converter. The ac analysis and operating characteristics of bidirectional secondary LLC resonant converter are investigated. A 1kW prototype bidirectional secondary LLC resonant converter connected to the $400V_{DC}$ buses is designed and tested to confirm the validity and applicability of the proposed converter.

This paper studies the scope and text summary of international standards related to adjustable speed d.c. drive systems, especially IEC 61800-1 and IEC 61136-1. IEC 61800-1 applies to general purpose adjustable speed d.c. drive systems which include the power conversion, control equipment, and also a motor or motors. This standard applies to power drive systems connected to line voltages up to 1kV a.c., 50Hz or 60Hz. IEC 61136-1 provides alternative methods for specifying ratings for semiconductor power convertors for adjustable speed electric drive systems, particularly for d.c. motor drives.
