Abstract :
Four implementations of a full-bridge zero-voltage-switched PWM power converter are discussed. The merits and limitations of each implementation are reviewed and their key features and characteristics are compared. In addition, experimental performance comparisons of the four power converters were performed on 1 kW/400 V laboratory prototypes
