Abstract

A modified series resonant converter employing LCLC-type tank circuit is dealt with. This configuration is suitable for higher output voltage, giving better performance in terms of efficiency and voltage regulation. Steady-state behaviour using a complex AC circuit analysis is presented. The converter is optimised using different design curves, and a prototype unit is developed using high frequency switches. The output voltage and power are controlled by using variable frequency and fixed frequency controls, independently. The modified series resonant converter is simulated using TUTSIM and CC packages, and results are substantiated by experimental observations
