Abstract
This paper presents a comparative evaluation of the two-level full-bridge zero-voltage zero-current switching (ZVZCS) converter and the three-level half-bridge ZVZCS converter. The paper analyzes the operation and soft-switching limits of both converters, compares them from a theoretical point of view, and presents an approach to optimize their designs. Experimental results are presented to illustrate the performance of both converters..
