Abstract :
Several circuits were proposed as methods for adjusting AC power. In this paper, the authors propose an AC chopper circuit with four switches and examine the fundamental character of the circuit. It has a simple configuration and excellent performance. The DC snubber can be used by dividing an input filter capacitor into two parts. The proposed circuit has high efficiency for adjusting AC power, because it is composed of fewer switches and DC snubbers
