Abstract :
This paper examines a synchronous rectification of a forward converter that uses a constant-current circuit for the transformer reset. To reduce loss in the constant-current circuit, the converter is connected to supply some of the power to the load. The question of optimizing the reset power is considered and the power distribution is shown. The reset power was set to its optimum value, and experimental values were used to examine this. We also investigated operations under no-load and show that the converter operates normally and that the reset is being performed
