A Novel Zero Current Switching(ZCS) Pulse Width Modulation(PWM) boost converter for reducing two rectifiers reverse recovery related losses Is proposed. The switches of the proposed converter are operating to work alternatively turn-on and turn-off with soft switching(ZVS, ZCS) condition. The reverse recovery related switching losses and EMI problems of the proposed converter eliminates the reverse recovery current of the freewheeling diode(D, Dl) by adding the resonant inductor Lr, in series with the switch S2. The voltage and current stresses of the components are similar to those in its conventional hard switching counterpats. As mentioned above, the characteristics are verified through experimental results.

The paper proposes a novel ZVZCS PWM converter. It enables the main switch to be turned on/off with both zero voltage and zero current, the auxiliary switch to be turned on/off with ZCS, the rectifier diode to be turned on/off with ZVS. Moreover, this proposed soft switching technique is suitable for not only minority carrier device but also majority carrier semiconductor device. Since auxiliary resonant circuit of the proposed boost converter is placed out of the main power path, therefore, there are no voltage and current stresses on the main switch and diode. The operation of the proposed boost converter is explained and analyzed theoretical and experimentally, from a prototype operating at 100KHz.

Zero Voltage Transition Pulse Width Modulation (ZVT-PWM) converter with active snubber circuit was proposed on this paper. The converter that has been proposed snubber circuit can be operated at the condition of light load range, and this converter is turned on and off near by Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) or Zero Current Switching (ZCS). If the stress of voltage and current are not occurred at the main switch and main diode, we subjected the allowed level of voltage and current on the auxiliary switch and auxiliary diodes. By proposed 750[W], 80[KHz] PWM boost converter to apply soft switching on the power of total output, the loss of main switch to compare with hard switching was reduced about 27[％], and the loss of total circuit was reduced about 36[％]. The total efficiency was increased about 6[％] to compare with general converter.

This paper presents the high frequency resonant inverter using ZVS(Zero Voltage Switching) known as the soft switching technology, which can reduce the turn-on and turn-off switching losses. Also, the analysis of the proposed resonant inverter is described by adopting normalized parameters, and its operating characteristics are evaluated according to the switching frequency and parameters. An example of 1.3[kW] IH-Jar design technique is presented based on the characteristic values obtained from the theoretical analysis. To prove the validity of the theoretical analysis, the experimental results using IGBT as the switching devices are additionally presented. In the future, it can be practically used in various power systems such as induction heating cooking, IH-Jar etc.

A novel 3$\phi$ ZVS PWM VSI topology employing a simple dc bus subcircuit that provides soft switching commutations is proposed in this paper. The main advantage of the proposed inverter commutation schem is that the dc bus subcircuit is activated only when required, that is, when dictated by the respective PWM. Detailed analysis is provided and simmulation results are presented to verify the principles of operation of the proposed inverter schem.

In this paper, an interleaved boost converter (IBC) with ZVT cell using a single resonant inductor in continuous conduction mode (CCM) is proposed. The IBC with the proposed ZVT cell has advantages such as a simple circuit, reduced size and low cost by using a single resonant inductor. It is more suitable for high power applications. The proposed ZVT cell circuit and principles for the IBC are explained in detail. The validity of the IBC with proposed ZVT cell is verified through experimental results.

위상천이 풀브리지 컨버터는 소자의 기생성분과 PWM의 위상천이를 이용한 소프트 스위칭을 통해 고효율을 얻을 수 있기 때문에 산업현장에서 널리 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 ZVS(Zero Voltage Switching) 범위가 한정적이며, 누설인던턴스에 의해 듀티 손실이 발생하고, 특히 경부하시 순환전류에 의한 손실 증가로 인해 효율이 낮아지는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 2차측에 프리휠링을 위한 스위치와 다이오드를 추가함으로써 기존의 위상천이 풀브리지(PSFB) 컨버터가 가지는 단점들을 극복한 새로운 소프트 스위칭 풀브리지 컨버터를 소개하고, 3kW급 프로토 타입을 통하여 그 유효성을 검증하였다.

At present, the cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) using mercury lamp has been generally used far liquid crystal backlight source of personal computer and car navigation and so on. This kind of lamp is more excellent on luminance performance and cost. However, the requirements of liquid crystal backlight due to a light source without mercury have been strongly increased from a viewpoint of the actual influence on environmental preservation and environmental recycling. As fluorescent lamp without mercury, Dielectric Barrier Discharge based rare gas fluorescent lamp (DBD-FL) using xenon (Xe) gas has been studied so far. This DBD lamp has no influence on the human body and environmental recycle. Its operating life is long because electrode is out. In this paper, the simulation and experimental results of soft switching high frequency inverter with reverse blocking single switch as a high frequency power supply circuit for DBD-FL using Xe gas are comparatively evaluated and discussed from a practical point of view.
