This paper is a record of the study on a high efficiency and high power chopper based on the new soft switching method QRAS (Quasi~resonant Regenerating Active Snubber) designed for a Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV). This power chopper is basically proposed for 25kHz soft switching. To confirm the practicality and effectiveness of the converter, the fabrication of a prototype-model using IGBTs was completed. Additionally, a 8kW rating test, a light load test, a current discontinuous mode test and a stable operation resonance test was completed. The circuit geometry, the basic operation, and the 8kW one-tenth-prototype test results are reported with a $97.5\%$ efficiency measurement.

Recently, DC-DC converters significantly increase the total losses as rising switching frequency. Trnditional soft switching technique for reducing switching losses even increase voltage/Clment stress of switch In this paper, Resonant circuit for soft switching is connected in parallel with power stage and only operates just before tum-on of the main sWItch. Therefore, ills doesn't affect the total circuit QI'||'&'||'pound;ration. The object of tIns paper is to make the linearized equivalent loss mxleIs. and to analyze the total losses by experiment. ZVT-PWlvI converter designed with 170-260[V] input, 400[V] 5[A] output, and 100[kHz] switching frequency is tested respectively with 500[W], 1[kW], 1.5[kW], and 2[kW] loads. The total losses in input 220[V], 2[kW] load are analyzed by usirm the linearized equivalent loss models.

능동클램프 타입의 전류원 컨버터는 입력전류 리플이 작으며 클램프로 서지제거는 물론 스위치의 ZVS 턴온을 가능하게 한다. 그 중 부스트 하프브리지 컨버터는 변압기 턴비와 다이오드 정격이 낮고 모든 소자가 대칭적 구조를 가지며 변압기의 마그네타이징 오프셋이 없으므로 연료전지와 같은 대전류 고승압 응용에 적합하다. 본 논문에서는 준공진 기법을 적용하여 스위치 턴오프 전류를 크게 감소시킨 능동클램프 타입의 부스트 하프브리지 컨버터를 제안한다. 16V, 1.2kW급 시작품으로 기존 방식과의 비교분석을 통하여 제안하는 방식의 타당성을 입증하였다.
