Abstract

This paper presents a novel prototype of a high-frequency transformer parasitic parameter and a lossless inductive snubber assisted series-resonant ZCS-PFM DC-DC power converter, which is designed for high power magnetron. When a conventional series-resonant PFM DC-DC converter is designed for magnetron drive, it is very difficult to implement zero current soft switching commutation due to the influence of the magnetizing current through a high-frequency transformer. In order to implement soft switching commutation, the new topology that can actively utilize the magnetizing current is proposed and discussed on the basis of simulation and experimental results.
