| Abstract |
This paper describes the modular development of a single-stage AC-DC step down power converter. The converter offers advantageous features such as simple DC-DC type switching control, electrically isolated output, inherent power factor correction, single stage power conversion without using power devices of excessively high voltage and current ratings, the flexibility of modular approach for expansion of power capability and a simplification of
design and production procedure for the manufacturing of power converter products especially for Telecom and navigation equipment and auxiliary domestic DC power supply. The operating modes of the converter are described and analysed. Experiments have confirmed the validity of the modular converter operation. |
