چکیده
A zero-voltage, zero-current switching (ZVZCS) PWM DC-DC power converter with secondary active rectifier tested as a dc current source for arc welding is described in this paper. The soft switching DC-DC converter consists of high frequency inverter, high frequency power transformer and controlled output rectifier with new secondary energy recovery turn-off snubber. Circulating current in the converter is reduced by using active rectifier and rms value of the current in secondary switches is decreased by utilizing a novel control algorithm. The experimental results of a 4.5 kW DC-DC converter working at switching frequency of 100 kHz are presented.

The conventional high-frequency phase-shifted zerovoltage-switching (ZVS) full-bridge dc/dc converter has a disadvantage, in that a circulating current flows through transformer and switching devices during the freewheeling interval. Due to this circulating current, rms current stress, conduction losses of the transformer and switching devices are increased. To alleviate this problem, this pape...
