Abstract :
In this paper a new soft switching current-fed converter for high voltage high power applications is presented. This converter utilizes parasitic components of high voltage transformers as resonant elements and employs fixed frequency phase shift PWM control to implement soft switching condition so implementation of control circuit is easy and cheap. Every six switches turn on at zero current condition (ZCS) and it has high efficiency. The detailed steady state analysis of the converter is presented by computer simulation and analytical method. Finally the experimental results certificate analysis and simulation results of this converter.
