Abstract
- This paper presents a zero-current-switched voltage-fed inverter equipped with resonant circuits on the ac side. The current flowing through a switching device, that is, IGBT, is the sum of the load current and the resonant current. When the amplitude of the resonant current is larger than that of the load current, the current in the switching device becomes zero at an instant in each resonant cycle. This allows the switching device to be turned on or off at the zero current. The zero-current switching makes a significant contribution to reduction of switching losses and electromagnetic noises. In this paper, the principle of zero-current-switching operation, along with a novel control scheme, is described from a theoretical and practical point of view. Experimental results obtained from a laboratory system of 5 kVA verify the practicability. Moreover, the switching and conduction losses of the proposed soft-switched inverter are compared with those of a conventional hard-switched inverter. © 2000 Scripta Technica, Electr Eng Jpn, 131(4): 85–95, 2000 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
