Abstract

A new lossless passive snubber for pulse width modulation converters is introduced in this paper. This snubber is established zero current switching condition for main switch in the converters for turning on distance. This snubber does not impose any additional current stress on the switch. The snubber can be applied to all single-switch DC-DC converters. A boost converter with the proposed snubber is analyzed and to verify theoretical analysis a 200 W sample is implemented and tested, also the experimental results are presented. In order to investigate the effect of snubber circuit in the converter in terms of efficiency, the boost converter with the proposed snubber has been compared in terms of efficiency with the conventional boost converter and the results show that the efficiency has increased by about 7% despite the snubber.

Abstract

In this paper, training on how to calculate and measure losses in power converters is presented. In the power converters all elements have losses due to circuit condition, therefore in order to calculate the losses in the elements, all conditions are considered, so the accuracy of the calculations are high. All relationships and formulas for calculating losses are presented, so the different ways of calculating losses are clear in this paper. All basic converters in this paper are studied in term of losses, so this paper is a good reference for calculating losses in DC-DC converters. In converters with soft switching, elements are added that also have losses in the converter, which the method of obtaining losses of these elements is also taught. Finally, methods for obtaining losses in simulation and experimental prototypes are given that prove the methods and theoretical formulas.
