This paper is proposed to improve the efficiency of the series resonant inverter for industrial heating applications. Resonant inverters are those operate at high frequency with reduced losses preferable for induction heating. Resonating components and switching device which are placed in series to load forms series resonant inverter. Inverter which is characterized by full bridge made up of In...

This paper presents the Zero-Voltage Switching (ZVS) performance of Dual Active Bridge (DAB) DC-DC converter for high power density aerospace applications. Switching transitions of the transistor occurring in favorable conditions such as device zero-voltage or zero-current is called as soft-switching. The benefits of soft-switching are reduced switching losses, switch stress, low electromagneti...

This paper proposes a transformer-assisted pulsewidth-modulation zero-voltage-switching neutral-pointclamped (NPC) inverter. With the assistance of a transformer-assisted small-rating lossless auxiliary circuit, the main switches work with zero-voltage switching without suffering from any voltage/current spikes, under simple explicit control. The technique allows for higher operating frequency ...

The output voltage of the traditional CUK PFC converter is negative, and an additional inverting amplifier circuit needed, which increases volume cost converter. A new type bridgeless topology proposed in this paper, makes have a positive without need circuit, has advantages simple control, high efficiency, low cost. Through optimization, one input capacitor reduced, two diodes are converted fr...

This letter presents a novel topology for a buck dc– dc converter with soft-switching capability, which operates under a zero-current-switching condition at turn on and a zero-voltage switching condition at turn off. In order to realize soft switching, based on a basic buck converter, the proposed converter added a small inductor, a diode, and an inductor coupled with the main inductor. Because...

In this paper, a new structure of step-up dc-dc converter by using coupled inductor and active-clamped circuit is proposed. The proposed converter generates high voltage gain in comparison with the conventional dc-dc converters. Duo to using active-clamped circuit in the proposed topology the voltage stress on main switch is reduced. In addition the zero voltage switching (ZVS) in ON-state of m...
