Abstract

A novel coupled-inductor commutation circuit is described. The circuit may also be used for inverters. It uses only two auxiliary thyristors, each operating in alternate cycles and eliminating the need for reversal of the commutating capacitor voltage. Trapped energy is fed back to the source. The output voltage is controllable from zero to the full input voltage. The commutation circuit can be connected to a voltage source other than that feeding the load. A DC chopper using this commutation scheme has been analysed and experimentally verified.
