Wakabayashi, Fabio Toshiaki [UNESP]Canesin, Carlos Alberto [UNESP]2014-05-272014-05-271999-01-01Conference Proceedings - IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition - APEC, v. 1, p. 605-611.http://hdl.handle.net/11449/132359A new family of direct current (DC) to DC converters based on a zero current switching pulse width modulated (ZCS-PWM) soft commutation cell is presented. This ZCS-PWM cell is consists of two transistors, two diodes, two inductors and one capacitor; and provides zero voltage turn-on to the diodes, a zero-current turn-on and a zero-current zero-voltage turn-off to the transistors. In addition, a new commutation cell in a new ZCS-PWM boost rectifier is developed, obtaining a structure with power factor near the unity, high efficiency at wide load range and low total harmonic distortion in the input current.605-611engElectric commutationElectric currentsElectric distortionElectric power factorPower convertersPulse width modulationRectifying circuitsResonant circuitsZero current switching (ZCS) convertersZero voltage switching (ZVS) convertersPower electronicsArtigo10.1109/APEC.1999.749747WOS:000079662000086Acesso restrito2-s2.0-00326725646427185658143370
