지금까지 멀티레벨 컨버터 및 인버터에 적용되어온 기존의 스너버는 턴온 스너버로 RLD 스너버 턴오프 스너버로 RCD 스너버를 사용하였으나 이들 RCD/RLD는 많은 소자를 필요로하며 스위칭시의 overvoltage와 스너버 손실이 큰 단점을 지니고 있다. 이와같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 Diode-clamped 4-레벨 컨버터 및 인버터를 위한 새로운 스너버를 제안한다. 새로 제안하는 스너버는 Basic snubber unit로 특성이 좋은 Undeland 스너버와 수정된 RCD/RLD 스너버를 사용한다. 따라서 제안하는 스너버는 Undeland 스너버와 McMuray 스너버가 갖고 있는 특성 즉 사용소자의 수의 감소 과전압의 감소 스너버 손실의 감소 등과 좋은 특성을 지니고 있다 또한 본 논문에서 제안하는 4-레벨 컨버터 및 인버터를 위한 스너버 회로를 구성하는 방법은 다른 레벨의 멀티레벨 컨버터 및 인버터에도 적용가능하다,

This paper proposes a snubber circuit for flying capacitor 3-level inverter and converter. The proposed snubber circuit makes use of Undeland snubber as basic snubber unit. It has such an advantage of Undeland snubber used in the two-level inverter. Compared with conventional RLD/RCD snubber for 3-level inverter and converter, the proposed snubber keeps such good features as fewer number of components, reduction of voltage stress of main switching devices due to low overvoltage, and improved efficiency of system due to low snubber loss. In this paper, the proposed snubber is applied to multilevel flying capacitor inverter and its feature is demonstrated by computer simulation and experimental result.

McT는 MOS-게이트형 사이리스터로써 MOS-게이트형 턴-온 및 턴-오프 특성과 낮은 도통 전압을 나타내는 소자이다. 그러나 SOA(Safe Operation Area)가 상대적으로 작기 때문에 스너버 회로를 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 간단한 MCT PSPICE 모델을 사용하여 스위칭 특성과 RCD 스너버의 특성을 분석하였고 스너버 회로 설계방식을 제안하였다.

In this paper, We have researched about the Electronic Ballast for 250W HPS(High Pressure Sodium) lamp. This Electronic Ballast is capable to operate the Ignition and Steady State Using the Class D LCC resonant tank, and minimizing the full-bridge inverter's Switching Stress by implementation Quasi-square ZC-ZVS Soft Switching Method. And also, We have reduced the heat of MOS-FETs and high frequency switching surge noise using the RCD damp snubber. Therefore, We are sure that the developed ballast has the properties of the stable & reliable Control and the function of minimizing the total noise of the system.

Nowadays, more than ever before, many researchers take much interest in raising the efficiency of a power converter. In Flyback converter, the resistor of RCD snubber consumes the stored energy in leakage inductor. It plays a role in degrading the overall system efficiency. Thus, in this paper, a novel energy recovery circuit of Flyback converter is proposed to improve the efficiency. The operational principle of the proposed circuit is explained in detail. And, it is vilified through the simulation and experimental results.

Circuit breakers have traditionally employed mechanical methods to interrupt excessive currents. According to power semiconductor technology advances in power electronic device, some mechanical breakers are replaced with solid state equivalents. Advantages of the contactors using semiconductor devices include faster fault interrupting, fault current limiting, no arc to contain or extinguish and intelligent power control, and high reliability. This paper describes the design of a static $100{\pm}10%V$ and 0 to 50A DC self-protected contactor with 85A "magnetic tripping" and 100A interruption current at $2.2A/{\mu}s$ short circuit of load condition using a new power device the HARRIS MCT (600V-75A). The self-protection circuit of this system is designed by the classical ZnO varistor for energy absorption and turn-off snubber circuit ("C" or "RCD") of the MCT.

본 논문은 Full-bridge converter 2차측 다이오드의 Ringing 전압을 제거하는 방법으로 Active Snubber를 제안한다. 기존 RCD Snubber는 다이오드의 Ringing 에너지를 저항으로 소모하는 방식으로 전압 서지를 줄이는데 한계가 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 Active Snubber가 제안 되었으며, Active Snubber는 다이오드의 Ringing 전압을 회생시킴으로써, 전압스트레스를 줄이고 효율을 개선하는 이점을 보여준다. 본 논문에서는 7KW Full-bridge converter에 제안하는 Active Snubber를 적용하여 그 유도성을 입증하였다.

본 논문은 독립형 태양광 보안등에 적합한 전력변환기를 제안한다. 제안된 전력변환기는 플라이백-부스트 콤비네이션 전력변환기로 하나의 스위치로 독립형 태양광 보안등의 배터리 감압컨버터와 LED 구동용 승압 컨버터의 기능을 모두 수행한다. 또한 기존 플라이백 컨버터의 RCD 스너버 회로 대신, 출력에 직접 연결하여 누설 인덕터의 에너지를 출력으로 전달하여 손실을 줄이는 방법을 적용하였다. 제안된 회로를 검증하기 위해서 PSIM 시뮬레이터를 사용하였으며, 회로의 동작 및 구조를 설명하였다.
