An approach to design and analyze an RCD snubber for flyback converters will be introduced. The resonance coordinate provides an easy way to understand the transient period of the switch turn-off and helps to design and analyze the RCD snubber easily. An example of analyzing RCD snubber losses for 40W prototype will be given and experimented to show the effectiveness of the suggested method.

본 논문은 다이오드 클램프형 3-레벨 IGBT 인버터에 적용 가능한 새로운 방식의 과전압 방지 스너버에 관한 것이다. 일반적으로 전력변환장치는 스위칭 소자에 발생하는 과전압을 감소시키기 위해 스너버 회로를 포함하고 있다. 하지만 다이오드 클램프형 멀티레벨 인버터는 스위칭 소자가 직렬로 연결되어 있기 때문에 과전압 방지 스너버를 구성하기 힘든 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 스텝-다운 DC-DC 컨버터에 적용 가능한 과전압 방지 스너버의 특성을 이용하여 다이오드 클램프형 3-레벨 인버터에 과전압 방지 스너버를 구성하려 할 때 발생하는 문제점을 분석하고 분석 결과를 토대로 다이오드 클램프형 3-레벨 인버터에 적용할 수 있는 새로운 구조의 스너버를 제안하였다. 제안한 방식에 대한 특성을 해석하였고, 실험을 통하여 효용성을 입증하였다.

In this paper, the operation principle of a bi-directional switch type resonant AC link snubber circuit was described, together with the practical design procedure, which employs in the proposed power module bridge package type resonant AC link snubber. The novel prototype of power module bridge package type resonant AC link snubber-assisted voltage type sinewave soft switching PWM inverter using IGBT power module was demonstrated herein. It was verified that both the auxiliary power switches in this resonant AC link snubber circuit and the main power switches commutate under the condition of soft switching commutation principle. In addition, the power losses of the new soft switching inverter treated here were analyzed by implementing the experimental data of the IGBT and diode v-i characteristics in addition to switching power loss characteristics into our original computer simulation software developed by the authors. Then, the voltage type sinewave soft switching PWM inverter was high efficiency than that of hard switching PWM inverter, along with performance operation waveforms. In the future, the comparative feasibility study of power module bridge type resonant AC link snubber and its related soft switching inverter in addition to the other types resonant snubber assisted soft switching inverter should be done from a practical point of view.

Switching Mode Power Supply(SMPS) is widely used in many industrial fields. Power factor improvement and harmonic reduction technique are very important in SMPS. In this paper, we propose the circuit applied Flying Capacitor Snubber for improving power factor of boost converter on fast switching state. Snubber circuit consists of a inductor, two diodes and a capacitor. The losses of switching are reduced by inserting a snubber inductor in the series path of the boost switch and the rectifier diode to control the di/dt rate of the rectifier during it's turn-off. Prior to actual experiment, the circuit analysis Is implemented by PSPICE simulation.

The reciprocating type hydrogen compressor is occurred by the pulsation from the mechanism and this pulsation is make much noise and vibration. Therefor snubber is installed for pulsation decreasing. The five type snubber models were designed for increasing pulsation amplitude reduction and decreasing pressure loss in snubber considering output pipe location as design value. And the pressure flued analysis is carried by CFD. In this paper, each type snubber according CFD result are analyzed by the MSC/NASTRAN to identify the vibration characteristic of each type. The vibration results are compared with CFD results.

This paper deals with a design of a bootstrap power supply using snubber energy regeneration, which is used to power a high-side gate driver of a half-bridge circuit. In the proposed circuit, the energy stored in the low-side snubber capacitor is transferred to the high-side bootstrap capacitor without any magnetic components. Thus, the power dissipation in the RCD snubber can be effectively reduced. The operation principle and design method of the proposed circuit are presented. The experimental results are also provided to show the validity of the proposed circuit.

A new soft switching single stage AC-DC full bridge boost converter with unit input power factor and isolated output is presented in this paper. Due to the use of a non-dissipative snubber on the primary side, a single stage high-power factor isolated full bridge boost converter has a significant reduction of switching losses in the main switching devices. The non-dissipative snubber adopted in this study consists of a snubber capacitor Cr, a snubber inductor Lr, a fast recovery snubber diode Dr, and a commutation diode Dr, and a commutation diode Dp. This paper presents the complete operating principles, theoretical analysis and experimental results.

The pulsation of a reciprocating type hydrogen compressor is occurred from the mechanism and this pulsation makes much noise and vibration. To reduce this pulsation, snubber is usually installed on that. To maintain the efficiency in the reciprocating type hydrogen compressor, the pulsation and vibration should be reduced. so it is necessary to research about the characteristic of pulsation and vibration. Therefore in this paper, the vibration characteristic of the snubber is analyzed in the base of optimized modeling condition through the flowing analysis of existing snubber. The prototype of reciprocating type hydrogen compressor is analyzed with numerical analysis. And making sure the present condition of hydrogen compressor through measurement of vibration and noise, and then it is established that the vibration characteristic data base on numerical analysis which will be develope.

The large value of the snubber capacitor is needed to protect the devices in high voltage converters using series connected power semiconductors. But that results in more losses and longer commutation time. So, new technique of series connection is required, which can minimize the value of snubber capacitor and also promote the reliability of high voltage converters. We study on the switching characteristics of series connected power semiconductors and then propose a novel switching algorithm for series-connection which is able to implement not only the dynamic voltage balancing in spite of the differerce of switching characteristics, but the minimization of the value of snubber capacitor, through the change of the value of snubber capacitor by Miller effect. Finally, we illustrate the validity of this synchronization by computer simulation and experimental results.
