Abstract
A new soft-switching PWM full-bridge converter is proposed in this paper. The proposed converter has zero voltage switching (ZVS) in all its switches with fewer conduction losses than other ZVS-PWM full-bridge converters, due to a novel auxiliary circuit scheme. In the paper, the operation of the new converter is explained and analyzed, a design procedure is presented and demonstrated with an example, and experimental results that confirm the feasibility of the converter are presented.
