A new soft switching isolated bi-directional phase shifted pulse width modulation (PSPWM) dc/dc converter is presented. Due to the use of the energy recovery snubber, the isolated bi-directional PSPWM dc/dc converter has a significant reduction of switching losses in the switching devices of the primary and secondary side bridge, respectively. The proposed soft switching bi-directional PSPWM FB dc/dc converter provides an energy recovery snubber which consists of two fast recovery diodes, a resonant capacitor and a resonant inductor. The complete operating principles and simulation results will be presented.

MOSFET 스위치로 구현된 고역률 부스트 정류기에 적합한 무손실 수동스너버가 턴오프 및 턴온 동안에 동작하는 등가회로로 기술된다. 이러한 등가회로는 주스위치에 가해지는 과도전압, 스너버 전류, 및 턴-오프 과도시간을 예측할 수 있도록 분석된다. 제안된 스너버와 결합된 부스트 컨버터의 주 스위치는 영전류에서 턴-온되기 때문에 턴-온 손실이 거의 없고, 제한된 전압 스트레스에서 턴-오프되므로 주 스위치의 전압 스트레스에 의한 파손을 방지할 수 있다. 또한 본 스너버를 사용한 부스트 컨버터의 제어 방법이 기존의 부스트 컨버터와 동일하기 때문에 기존의 부스트 컨버터용 제어회로를 그대로 쓸 수 있다. 제안된 에너지재생 수동스너버를 갖는 고역률 정류기가 구현되고 실험결과가 제시된다.

A new active lossless snubber for half-bridge dual converter(that is called 'dual converter') is proposed in this paper. It features soft switching(ZVS) as well as turn-off snubbing in both main and auxiliary switches. As it uses parasitic components, such as leakage inductances and switch output capacitances etc, it helps the dual converter to operate at the higher frequency with a higher efficiency and smaller size reactive components. The operational principle, theoretical analysis, and design consideration are presented. To confirm the operation, features and validity of the proposed circuit, simulated results from an 1kW, 24V/DC-250V/DC are presented.

This paper proposed that an Analysis of a partial resonant AC-DC converter for high power and power factor operates with four choppers connecting to a number of parallel circuit. To improve these, a large number of soft switching topologies included a resonant circuit have been proposed. And, some simulative results on computer are included to confirm the validity of the analytical results. The partial resonant circuit makes use of an inductor using step-down and a condenser of lose-less snubber. The result is that the switching loss is very low and the efficiency of system is high. And the snubber condenser used in a partial resonant circuit makes charging energy regenerated at input power source for resonant operation. The proposed conversion system is deemed the most suitable for high power applications where the power switching devices are used

This paper is studied on a novel buck-boost isolated converter for high efficiency and high power factor. The switching devices in the proposed converter are operated by soft switching technique using a new quasi-resonant circuit, and are driven with discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) according to pulse width modulation (PWM). The quasi-resonant circuit makes use of a step up-down inductor and a loss-less snubber capacitor. The proposed converter with DCM also simplifies the requirement of control circuit and reduces a number of control components. The input ac current waveform in the proposed converter becomes a quasi sinusoidal waveform in proportion to the magnitude of input ac voltage under constant switching frequency. As a result, it is obtained by the proposed converter that the switching power losses are low, the efficiency of the converter is high, and the input power factor is nearly unity. The validity of analytical results is confirmed by some simulation results on computer and experimental results.

In this paper an Improved Zero Voltage Zero Current Pulse Width Modulation Forward converter which employs a simple resonance snubber circuit is introduced. A simple snubber circuit consists of a capacitor, an inductor and two diodes. In proposed converter, switch Q1 operates at ZCS turn-on, and ZVS turn-off conditions and all-passive semiconductor devices operate at ZVZCS turn-on and turn-off state. The proposed converter is analyzed and various operating modes of the ZVZCS-PWM forward converter are discussed. Analysis and design considerations are presented and the prototype experimental results of a 100w (40 V/2.5A) proposed converter operating at 30 KHz switching frequency confirm the validity of theoretical analysis.

An energy recovery sustaining driver with zero current switching to reduce switching losses and EMI is presented in this paper. The driver with designed snubber circuits reduces ringing voltage significantly on PDP so that the voltage rating of MOSFETs can be lower as well to reduce the cost of switches.

In order to improved the three phase GTO CSI of high efficiency IM drive with low loss commutation and snubber energy, we studied the energy recovery circuit to recover stored energy in clamping capacitor, dc link inductor and snubber capacitor, used an induction motor as the load of inverter. Specially, we investigated how dc input power is increased or decreased according to size of dc link inductor. The validity of this system is proved through experiment.

In this paper, it is consider spike voltage that is generated by ignoring the recovery time of switching device, turn on and turn off time. In the same principle, this spike voltage will be applicable to diode recovery time. The spike voltage causes to break down insulation of input transformer. So, we will show how to remove spike voltage by optimizing value of R and C and using switching diode which have fast recovery time.
