Abstract :
A detailed design methodology for soft-switched inverters is presented. The actively clamped resonant DC link and the resonant pole inverters are taken as illustrative design examples with detailed enumeration of component design rules, switching loss calculations, and system optimization. The soft-switched circuits are then compared with a conventional hard-switched voltage source inverter under identical operating conditions
