| Abstract |
This paper proposes a novel Auxiliary Resonant Conunutated Pole Inverter (ARCPI) topology. Many investigations for resonant converters have been studied and reported. Auxiliary Resonant Commutated Pole Inverter (ARCPI) is one of the most successful circuit topologies. However, the
conventional ARCPis have the switching property like the general PWM inverters with the capacitive snubbers at turn-off. Therefore, as the load current increases, the turn-off switching losses may be so serious and can be so much considerable. The proposed ARCPI solves this problem, which can achieve ZCS at tun1-off with high frequency transformers, switches, and capacitors. The analyses and the
characteristics for each operation mode of the proposed circuit are described indetail and the validity is verified by the simulation and experimental results. |
