Abstract :
The new concept of integrating power electronic components and converters has previously been described in literature, and has also been proven to be manufacturable. A generic integrated LCT building block for a family of series resonant power converters is discussed, and a case study is performed on the design and construction of an integrated LCT for the partial series resonant power converter. A new manufacturing technology is used, which consists of metallisation by a plasma spraying process, as well as large area ceramic dielectrics. This new manufacturing technology is implemented in a 200 kHz, 4 kVA integrated partial series resonant power converter
