Abstract
A DC/DC converter plays a vital role in on-board electric vehicle (EV) charger. Among the many converter topologies, the phase-shifted full-bridge DC/DC converter (PSFBDC) is widely used. For improved efficiency, PSFBDC is embedded with passive auxiliary networks resulting in several unique configurations for achieving soft-switching in entire load range. The architecture of the chosen DC/DC converter configuration should comply with the society of automotive engineers (SAE) standards. Although, the conduction loss of the converter can be minimised by choosing a proper topology configuration and proper switching of the configuration, the selection of appropriate for PSFBDC plays an important role in enhancing the overall efficiency. An optimistic method for the selection of switch configuration satisfying the reduced power loss and cost-effective aspects is presented. For demonstrating the proposed method, a 1 kW 100 kHz system with commercially available switches IRFP460, IXFN64N60P, and IPP65R045C7 is chosen and the obtained results are presented.
