Abstract

A zero-current-transition (ZCT) cell is analyzed and designed to be used with a three-phase pulsewidth-modulation buck rectifier. This rectifier was space-vector controlled and used unidirectional current switches. The proposed ZCT circuit is load independent and achieves a high noise and voltage stress reduction and provides ZCTs to almost all transitions of the rectifier's switches and to the additional auxiliary switches. Theoretical equations have been obtained for design purposes. The circuit is easy to design and the driving signals for the auxiliary switches are also easy to obtain, as demonstrated in this paper.
