This paper presents a simple circuit topology of the auxiliary active quasi-resonant DC link snubber-assisted three phase voltage source soft-switching inverter for small scale PM motor drive applications. The pulse processing drive circuit interface and its soft-switching operation are discussed from an experimental point of view. Moreover, its conductive noise is measured and evaluated for electrical AC servo motor drive as compared with that of the conventional hard switching inverter.

A zero-voltage transition (ZVT) PWM boost PFC converter using a transformer to recover the resonant energy into the input voltage is proposed. The proposed converter reduces turn-off switching loss of the auxiliary switch. The resonant current of the auxiliary circuit is optimally reduced by the feed-forwarded input voltage. Moreover, the resonant energy of the auxiliary circuit is recovered into the load and input voltages. In this paper, the modes of converter operation are explained and analyzed, design guidelines are given, and experimental results of 1.2kW, 200kHz prototype system are presented.

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.

In this paper, novel unidirectional auxiliary resonant commutated pole is proposed to improve the performance of zero-voltage soft-switching inverter. The proposed circuit keeps the advantages of the original soft-switching inverter, while providing more effective resetting capability in magnetizing current. Based on the advanced reset mechanism, auxiliary switches operate under a complete zero-current condition. The operating principle and steady-state analysis are presented theoretically, according to its operating modes. Accordingly, it proves the fact that the proposed unidirectional auxiliary resonant commutated pole breaks an unwanted magnetizing current loop effectively. The performance of the proposed circuit is verified by several simulation results.

A new partial resonant three phase boost converter with high power factor and high efficiency is proposed. The proposed boost converter is constructed by using a resonant network in parallel with the swithch of the conventional boost converter. The devices are switched at zero voltage or zero current eliminating the switching loss. A new auxiliary partial resonant boost converter achieves zero-voltage switching(ZVS) or zero-current switching(ZCS) for all switch devices without increasing their voltage and current stresses.

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.

In this paper, we propose a boost DC-DC converter using a modification of the passive auxiliary resonant snubber circuit with a DC-DC converter in a typical active auxiliary resonant snubber-bridge inverter. The proposed boost DC-DC converter is small compared to the DC-DC converter according to the soft-switching scheme that requires a general auxiliary switch by realizing the soft switching operation as a DC-DC converter which does not require an auxiliary switch. It is light-weight, switch the turn-on and turn-off switching loss at the time of the superposition of the voltage and current is extremely small, so small. And the reduction of the surge voltage and current of the switch. In addition, the proposed boost DC-DC converter has a high efficiency over a wide load characteristics change area than conventional hard switching PWM boost converter using an RC snubber loss.
