A new type of soft-switching forward converter is proposed in this study. By adding only a few components, the inductor, diode, switch, and capacitor exhibit higher efficiency than the conventional forward converter. Therefore, the switching losses of the proposed forward converter are considerably reduced compared with those of the conventional forward converter. In addition, the reset winding is not used because of the capacitor employed in the auxiliary circuit. The auxiliary capacitor is adopted for zero-current-transition operation and for dissipating magnetization energy. The performance of the proposed forward converter is validated using experimental results from a 60 W, single-output, forward converter prototype, and design guidelines are presented.

A Full-bridge zero-voltage zero-current switching (ZVZCS) converter using transformer auxiliary winding is analyzed. A complete small-signal model for the control scheme is developed. The propoed model is accurate up to half the switching frequency. The dynamic characteristics are compared with those of the zero-voltage switching converter and buck converter. Model predictions are confirmed by experimental measurements.

This paper presents a zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) boost converter using a coupled inductor. It utilizes an additional winding to the boost inductor and an auxiliary diode. The ZVS characteristic of the proposed converter reduces the switching losses of the active power switches and raises the power conversion efficiency. The principle of operation and a system analysis are presented. The theoretical analysis and performance of the proposed converter were verified with a 100W experimental prototype operating at a 107 kHz switching frequency.

In this paper a high efficiency bidirectional resonant converterfor Vehicle-to-Grid applications (V2G) is proposed.The proposed converter has adopted an LC auxiliary circuit in the third winding of the transformer. With the proposed method full softswitching can be ensured in all switches over a wide range of loadsand the secondary ringing can be removed with no additional snubber or clamp circuitry.In addition, since the proposed resonant converter is able to operate at an almost constant resonant frequencyregardless of the load, CC/CV charge of the battery can be simply implemented with high efficiency. A 3.3 kW bidirectional converter for On-Board Charger of Electric Vehicle is implemented to verify the validity of the proposed method. The experimental results show the high efficiency characteristics of the proposed converter over the wide range of load in both charge and discharge mode. The maximum efficiency of the proposed system was 98.13 % at 2.3 kW during the constant voltage mode charge operation.

Capacitor-run single-phase induction motor is cheaper than motors that use permanent magnets and is widely used in home appliances and industries based on relatively high durability and productivity. It can also be operated by line. However speed cannot be controlled because the line frequency is free. In this paper we dealt pole change method one of the method controlling speed of capacitor-run single-phase induction motor. The conventional pole change method is difficult to improve the power and efficiency of the motor because the composition of the pole change device is complex and do not have enough area of the windings because of windings not used according to the driving conditions. In this paper, we proposed the pole change method that is used main windings and auxiliary windings at 4 poles operation and used auxiliary windings as compensation windings at 2 poles operation. The proposed method was verified through finite element analysis.

BY the Transformers and reactors, the input electrical energy is converted into magnetic energy. At the end through the magnetic energy was passed at the output parameter. Specially At the flyback transformer or a reactor airgap were designed to contain more magnetic energy. But that work is very difficult for the optimal design. It is that Contradictions are between the length of the Air-gap, Winding inductance, DC bias. As to e Several conflicting conditions in order to determine the optimum Air-gap has a lot of experience and trial & error is necessary. The approach proposed in this paper, the auxiliary winding on the core attached to part of primary core, that by applying a DC voltage has a dramatic effect like Core with designed Air-gap. This inventiveness and advantage is to regulate arbitrarily the Saturation Flux Quantity by the input signal to secondary winding. Accordingly obtained the biggest effect is that increasing limits of the saturation current destined by the material and shape of the conventional core. In other words, that can decreas the size of the transformer and reactor, While maintaining the current saturation capacity. This paper, prove its effect as using the local flux saturation in transformers and reactors for research by the computer program using the finite element method (FEM) simulation, followed by actual experiment to verify

Now, in this paper, going to present you with an Idea related to a new inverter of multi-step voltage source, that Is, the double-connected 12-step inverter with an auxiliary circuit. It possibly can be 24-step inverter with 3-phase voltage source which will enable us make full application even to medium and high power-level Motor drive, UPS, STATCOM, SVC, etc. in which the PWM method could not be employed. 24-step operation can be obtained from the link between the existing 12-step inverter and the additional auxiliary circuit in which the transformer of auxiliary circuit generates ripple voltage delivered to the inverter. Through a lot of experiments and simulations, (from which the validity of this scheme is confirmed,) we came to the conclusion that the increase of the primary winding number on transformer by 2N(N=1,2,3....) leads to the 12M-step(M=2,3,4...) inverter. The validity of the proposed scheme is confirmed by the simulated and experimental results.

A Single phase induction motor is the predominant fractional horsepower power rated, extensively used in domestic and industrial application. For example, these motors provide the motive power to washing machines, fans, refrigerators, etc. In this paper, single phase induction motor input current was detected by a small current transformer and determined TRIAC gate signal by using op-amp analog circuit. The soft-start strategy is based on limited auxiliary current angle during starting period in the closed-loop control. The Simulation and experimental result show the motor's starting characteristics of the proposal starting system and are compared with centrifugal switch starting motor.
