Abstract
A Zero-Voltage-Switching (ZVS) PWM scheme for full-bridge inverter with active-clamping technique is proposed. The ZVS condition is analyzed and the ZVS PWM scheme is designed to realize zero voltage switching for both main switches and auxiliary switch in a large power range. The ZVS PWM scheme also adjusts the energy stored in resonant inductor with variation of load to reduce the circulating loss in light load range. The switching frequency is increased and the filter inductor is significantly reduced. The experiment on a 3 kW prototype shows the realization of ZVS and high efficiency.
