Sneak circuit analysis of Boost converter considering parasitic parameters

Abstract

Sneak circuit in power electronic circuit is a newly discovered phenomenon. Analysis of sneak circuit is essential for power electronics converter because of its unpredictable feature and various influences. Sneak circuit phenomenon is found in the Boost converter which takes parasitic parameters into consideration and the major exciting conditions are discussed in this paper. The effects of sneak circuits on Boost converter are also presented. The experimental and simulated results are in good agreement and have verified the theoretical analysis. This paper provides an improved understanding of the influence of sneak circuit on Boost converter considered the parasitic parameters, which leads to more accurate analysis when design a new power electronic converter and newer applications.
