A New, Soft-switched Boost Converter with Isolated Active Snubber
نویسنده
چکیده
A boost converter which employs an isolated active snubber to reduce the losses caused by the reverserecovery characteristic of the boost rectifier and the turnon discharge loss of the output capacitance of the boost switch is described. The proposed isolated active snubber consists of a coupled inductor, clamp capacitor, and ground-referenced N-type MOSFET. The performance of the proposed converter is evaluated on an 1-kW, universal-line-range, boost input-current shaper.

A New, Soft-Switched, High-Power-Factor Boost Converter with IGBTs
A new soft-switching technique that improves performance of the high-power-factor boost rectifier by reducing switching losses is introduced. The losses are reduced by an active snubber which consists of an inductor, capacitor, rectifier, and an auxiliary switch. Since the boost switch turns off with zero current, this technique is well suited for implementations with insulated-gate bipolar tra...
