This paper describes a POWER MOSFET inverter suitable for medium frequency induction heating applications. A series scheme is employed, which is operated at zero phase of the resonant load by PLL control. This ensures maximum power transfer, good efficiency, low EMI noise and reliable operation. Circuit configuration and performance are discussed and design criteria are given. Implementation of a prototype rated at 5KW, $100{\sim}300KHz$ is discribed and experimental results are given.

대용량 인버터의 기본 구성요소인 밸브를 시험하는 방식에 대해 제안하였다. 대용량 인버터를 구성하기 위해서는 전력용 반도체 소자를 직렬로 연결하여 고전압을 스위칭할 수 있는 밸브가 필요하다. 이 밸브의 Snubber 회로의 적정성, 정격전압, 정격전류에서 정상적으로 스위칭이 이루어지는지 등의 검증이 필요하다. 본 본문에서는 전력용 반도체 소자에 이러한 시험조건을 제공하는 시험방식을 제안하였다.

This paper is concerned with a zero-voltage soft-switching PWM DC-DC high-pelter converter using IGBTs, which Bakes the most of the parastic LC parameters of high-voltage transformer link, for diagnostic X-Ray power generator. The converter circuit basically utilizes phase-shift pulse width modulated series resonant full-bridge PWM DC-DC high-Power converter operating at a constant frequency:20kHz. This technique brings about dramatic decreases in the switching losses of power devices and their electrical stresses as compared with the commonly-used hard-switching PWM DC-DC power converter. The high-frequency switching operation of the converters has some effective advantages, which consist in the physical reduction in size and weight and lowered acoustic noise.

Mismatch between switching frequency and circuit parameters often occurs in industrial applications, which would lead to instability phenomena. The bifurcation behavior of $V^2$ controlled buck converter is investigated as the pulse width modulation period is varied. Nonlinear behavior is analyzed based on the monodromy matrix of the system. We observed that the stable period-1 orbit was first transformed to the period-2 bifurcation, which subsequently changed to chaos. The mechanism of the series of period-2 bifurcations shows that the characteristic eigenvalue of the monodromy matrix passes through the unit circle along the negative real axis. Resonant parametric perturbation technique has been applied to prevent the onset of instability. Meanwhile, the extended stability region of the converter is obtained. Simulation and experimental prototypes are built, and the corresponding results verify the theoretical analysis.

This paper investigates a power supply of medium voltage with enhanced ignition characteristics for plasma torch. Series resonant half-bridge topology is presented to be a suitable ignition circuitry. The ignition circuitry is integrated into the main power conversion system of a multi-phase staggered three-level dc-dc converter with a diode front-end rectifier. The plasma torch rated for 3MW, 2kA and having the physical size of 1m long is selected to be a high enthalpy source in waste disposal system. The steady-state and transient operations of plasma torch are simulated. The parameters of Cassie-Mary arc model are calculated based on 3D magneto-hydrodynamic simulations. Circuit simulation waveform shows that the ripple of arc current can be maintained within ${\pm}10%$ of its rated value under the existence of load disturbance. This power conversion configuration provides high enough ignition voltage around 5KA during ignition phase and high arc stability under the existence of arc disturbance noise resulting in a high-performance plasma torch system.

HPSL(High Pressure Sodium lamp)have attracted much attention in recent years, because they offer high luminous efficiency and very long life. Recently, AC-DC converters have been widely as power factor improvement circuits in the power conversion equipment An application of the ZVT-PWM(Zero Voltage Transition Pulse Width Modulation) boost converter, which has great advantage on miniaturization and high power density, to the power factor improvement circuit of the HPSL inverter are described to identify the power factor correction characteristics of the inverter. In this paper the series-parallel resonant inverter(electronic ballast) for driving a HPS lamp is discussed. Finally, a power factor corrector is cascaded in front of the electronic ballast. Consequently, a high power factor above 0.99 and low THD on the line current can be achieved.

The Cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) are widely used to illuminate the liquid crystal display(LCD). Ballasts are required for CCFL because the lamp need high starting voltage and behave negative dynamic resistant characteristics in the desired region of operation.

In this paper, CCFL driving and control circuit is designed by half-bridge type series and parallel resonant inverter that variable frequency modulation method to control the output voltage current. The validity of this study is confirmed from the simulation and experimental results.

This paper presents an improved phase-shift pulse-width modulation (PWM) full-bridge converter using a blocking capacitor. As the proposed converter reduces the circulation energy by inserting only one series blocking capacitor at the primary side of the conventional phase-shift PWM full-bridge converter structure, it improves the operation characteristics of the conventional converter. In this paper, first, the operation of conventional phase-shift PWM full-bridge converter is roughly reviewed, and then the operational principle of the proposed converter is classified and explained by each mode. After that, a prototype design example based on the operational principle is shown. Then, the improved operation characteristics of the proposed converter are actually verified through the experimental results.

본 논문은 CNT(Carbon Nano Tube) FEL(Field Emission Lamp)에서 애노드(Anode)-캐소드(Cathode) 구동용 고전압 구동 회로 구현에 관한 것이다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 고전압 DC 전원 회로는 턴비가 높은 고전압 트랜스포머의 Leakage 인덕턴스를 이용하는 Series-Resonant 형태의 Full Bridge 컨버터를 적용하고 고전압 트랜스포머와 Voltage Multiplier를 이용한다. 고전압 트랜스의 절연전압을 줄이기 위해서 두개의 트랜스포머와 Voltage Multiplier를 이용하여 애노드 전극에는 Positive 고전압, 캐소드 전극에는 Negative 고전압을 인가한다. 이 경우 애노드와 캐소드 사이의 아크 방전 시에도 구동 IC 및 스위칭 소자를 보호할 수 있는 장점이 있다.
