Abstract :
A novel variable-speed, constant-frequency (VSCF) 400 Hz aircraft generating system has been developed using an actively clamped resonant DC link converter. The design approach used to select the best configuration for the resonant converter power stage is described, including techniques for choosing power component values to meet key governing performance specifications. Interactions between the various converter components are discussed, suggesting approaches for selecting values which must meet multiple and sometimes conflicting system performance criteria. Verification is provided using a combination of simulation results and test data from a 60 kVA laboratory breadboard system
