Abstract :
A low-loss soft-switching CSI topology, consisting of two parallel switches with a midpoint connected capacitor, is proposed. The structure accomplishes zero voltage switching during turn-off without any additional snubber circuit. It is well suited for high power applications requiring the use of two parallel switches. An analysis and design procedure are presented. Simulation results confirm the feasibility of the topology
