Abstract :
This paper developed a new series resonant (current resonant) DC link inverter with fixed pulse frequency aimed for electric vehicle drives. The fixed pulse frequency of 20-50 kHz enabled the system to work with no audible noise, and to involve only 1/100 of DC inductance and 1/10 of output capacitors in comparison with conventional series resonant DC link converters. In this paper, explanations of the new circuit configuration, the simulation, and design consideration are included
