A 10 kW DC-DC converter using IGBTs with active snubbers

A 10 kW DC-DC converter using IGBTs with active snubbers

A full bridge DC-DC power converter is described that employs zero voltage switching (ZVS) on one leg and zero current switching (ZCS) on the other. This technique produces exceptionally low IGBT switching losses through the use of an active snubber that recycles energy back to the source. Experimen...

Zusammenfassung:A full bridge DC-DC power converter is described that employs zero voltage switching (ZVS) on one leg and zero current switching (ZCS) on the other. This technique produces exceptionally low IGBT switching losses through the use of an active snubber that recycles energy back to the source. Experimental results are presented for a 10 kW, 20 kHz converter.< >
