For decrease the harmonic current components of the power source, a first method is insert the choke coil that used the choke input type rectifier, the booster chopper circuit and buck chopper circuit. And the several method are studying like as the PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) converter and the active filter type which is used the high frequency switching and the sinusoidal wave formed input current. In this type, there are many problem as a low efficiency, increased the noise, the high leakage current and cost up by the high frequency switching. For improve this problems, the partial resonan method is used on the booster inducter and lossles snubber condenser. This method decreased the distortion factor has lower harmonic components than the hard switching and there is no switching loss by the ZCS(Zero Current Switching) at switch turn-on and the ZVS(Zero Voltage Swithcing) at switch turn-off

This paper presents a novel soft-switching PWM utility frequency AC to high frequency AC power conversion circuit incorporating boost-half-bridge inverter topology, which is more suitable and acceptable for cost effective consumer induction heating applications. The operating principle and the operation modes are presented using the switching mode and the operating voltage and current waveforms. The performances of this high-frequency inverter using the latest IGBTs are illustrated, which includes high frequency power regulation and actual efficiency characteristics based on zero voltage soft switching (ZVS) operation ranges and the power dissipation as compared with those of the previously developed high-frequency inverter. In addition, a dual mode control scheme of this high frequency inverter based on asymmetrical pulse width modulation (PWM) and pulse density modulation (PDM) control scheme is discussed in this paper in order to extend the soft switching operation ranges and to improve the power conversion efficiency at the low power settings. The power converter practical effectiveness is substantially proved based on experimental results from practical design example.

A zero-voltage-transition(ZVT) full bridge (FB) boost converter for single stage power factor correction (PFC) in distributed power system is proposed. A simple auxiliary circuit provides zero-voltage-switching(ZVS) condition to all semiconductor devices without imposing additional voltage and current stresses and loss of PWM capability. The proposed boost converter provides both input power factor correction and direct conversion from $110{\sim}220VAC$ line to 300VDC bus with single power stage. Operational principle, analysis of the proposed converter are described and verified by computer simulation and experimental results from a 1.5 kW, 80 kHz laboratory prototype.

A new soft switching three-phase PWM rectifier with simple circuit configuration and high efficiency has been developed. The proposed circuit is a kind of the auxiliary resonant commutated Pole(ARCP)converter The conventional ARCP converter requires three-auxiliary reactors and six-auxiliary switches for the soft switching auxiliary circuit and for these switching elements, a gate drive circuit and a control circuit are required, resulting in high part as a disadvantage. In the main circuit proposed in this paper, the auxiliary soft switching circuit is composed of two-auxiliary reactors, two-auxiliary switches and several diodes. In addition, common use of the PWM control circuit for two-switches will make the control circuit of the auxiliary switches simple. By means of function of the soft switching auxiliary circuit, the main switching element performs zero voltage switching operation and the auxiliary switches perform the zero current switching. In this paper, the circuit configuration and the operational analysis of the proposed circuit are described at first and then, experimental results will be reported. By using a prototype with 5[kW] capacity, the conversion efficiency of maximum $98.8[\%]$ and the power factor of $99[\%]$ or higher were obtained.

위상천이 풀브리지 컨버터는 소자의 기생성분과 PWM의 위상천이를 이용한 소프트 스위칭을 통해 고효율을 얻을 수 있기 때문에 산업현장에서 널리 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 ZVS(Zero Voltage Switching) 범위가 한정적이며, 누설인던턴스에 의해 듀티 손실이 발생하고, 특히 경부하시 순환전류에 의한 손실 증가로 인해 효율이 낮아지는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 2차측에 프리휠링을 위한 스위치와 다이오드를 추가함으로써 기존의 위상천이 풀브리지(PSFB) 컨버터가 가지는 단점들을 극복한 새로운 소프트 스위칭 풀브리지 컨버터를 소개하고, 3kW급 프로토 타입을 통하여 그 유효성을 검증하였다.

본 논문에서는 universal line 입력 및 전 부하영역에서 영전압 스위칭(Zero Voltage Switching) 보장을 통한 500kHz 고 주파수 구동의 Dual Mode control LLC 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안 회로는 전 부하영역에서의 ZVS(영전압 스위칭)보장으로 고주파 구동이 가능하여 전원회로의 부피 중 상당량을 차지하는 수동소자의 부피를 대폭 저감 할 수 있다. 또한, 소용량 전원회로는 PFC(Power Factor Correction)의 규제가 없기 때문에 universal line 입력에 대응이 가능해야하므로, 제안회로는 변화하는 입력전압과 출력전류에 따라 PFM과 PWM의 두 가지 모드로 동작하여 universal line 입력 및 전 부하 영역에서 정확한 출력전압 제어가 가능하다. 최종적으로 제안 회로의 타당성 검증을 위하여 60W급 adapter의 전원회로를 위한 시작품을 제작하여 고찰된 실험 결과를 제시한다.
