Abstract :
In power electronic converters soft switching is an efficient way to reduce losses. A resonant tank in series with the windings of the isolation transformer in a Modular Double-Cascade converter is presented. Positive effects such as switching loss reduction, prevention of flux walking and saturation of transformer core are analyzed and discussed.
