Abstract |
The six-switch voltage-source inverter is the most common topology used for DC-AC inversion. Performance improves with increasing switching frequencies; however, there is an upper limit on the switching frequency if significant switching losses and electromagnetic interference problems are to be avoided. A variety of soft-switching techniques have been proposed to overcome these limitations, in particular a new topology recently proposed by the authors. This paper presents a comparison between this new, quasi-resonant, soft-switched, inverter, and a current-regulated voltage-source inverter. |
