 Author(s)   A. Radan 
 Abstract   The "Per Switching Cycle Volt-Second Balance" of Space Vector Modulation (SVM) is disturbed by the duration of polarity variation of phase voltages becoming longer in soft switching converters. The phase voltages of a ZVS converter vary during the zero voltage transition in a sinus fashion. This causes the converter not to generate the voltage vector requested by the SVM modulator. This effect results in a reduction in the DC-Bus utilization of soft switching converters compared to their hard switching counterpart. This paper investigates this object analytically and shows the reduction of the DC-Bus utilization for two common types of ZVS converters by simulation results. This paper also proposes a method for compensating the reduction of DC-Bus Utilization. The effectiveness of the proposed method is also confirmed by simulation results.
