Abstract

This paper presents a comparison study of circuit topology of the voltage source type zero-voltage soft-switching (ZVS) full-bridge DC-DC power converter with an isolated high-frequency transformer employing phase-shift control. The switching power losses and voltage stress on the active devices are considerably reduced. A prototype operating at 10 kHz, rated at 100/50 V, 200 W is developed for the two topologies and experimental results obtained.
