Abstract :
A symmetrical, current-fed DC-DC boost converter was investigated theoretically and experimentally on a 300 W prototype in the frequency range: 40 to 110 kHz. The converter is built around an L-type half-bridge IGBT inverter. Zero-current-switching is achieved by a series resonant LC-network placed between the collectors of the IGBTs
