Abstract :
A detailed design methodology is presented for soft switched inverters. The actively clamped resonant DC link inverter and the resonant pole inverter are taken as illustrative design examples with a detailed enumeration of component design rules, switching loss calculations, and system optimization. The soft-switched circuits are then compared with the conventional hard-switched voltage-sourced inverter under identical load conditions.<>
