The switching strategy implemented and the AACC make it possible for these power converters to operate with soft commutation of their main switches from no load up to full load, without increasing their voltage or current ratings. Due to commutation under zero voltage conditions, the main switches are implemented as a dual thyristor. The RMS current value carried by auxiliary switches is very low. To verify the feasibility of the proposed AACC, it is applied to a half-bridge inverter. Operation principle, commutation analysis, switching strategy and features are described and verified experimentally.

Since current-feedback magnetic multivibrators are highly efficient and are suitable for high-frequency operation, they are widely used as power sources for electronic equipment. Unlike voltage-feedback multivibrators, however, their circuits have no ability to protect themselves from overloading. We therefore proposed a new current-feedback multivibrator with overload protection. In this paper, the conditions for cessation of oscillation are derived by using our model of bipolar junction transistors. This model takes account of power dissipation, because the common-emitter static forward current transfer ratio depends on the collector current and the junction temperature.","PeriodicalId":19979,"journal":{"name":"PESC Record. 27th Annual IEEE Power Electronics Specialists Conference","volume":"68 1","pages":"975-980 vol.2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74491356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
