Abstract
A single-stage power factor correction ac/dc converter based on zero voltage switching (ZVS) full bridge topology with two series-connected transformers is proposed in this paper. The proposed converter offers a very wide ZVS range due to the configuration of two series-connected transformers. It features a high efficiency over wide load ranges. Furthermore, it shows the low voltage stress on a dc link capacitor. The proposed converter also gives the high power factor and low input current harmonics complied with IEC 61000-3-2 Class D requirements by integrating a boost stage operated in a discontinuous current mode. The ZVS conditions, large signal modeling, and design procedure are discussed in detail. Experimental results are presented to show the validity of the proposed converter.
