Sammanfattning

Besides many advantages, the reduction in the operational duty of traditional phase shifted full converter limits its scope in applications where a wide range of input voltage is the main requirement. Operation with low duty cycle extends freewheeling interval, which results in degraded performance such as more circulation current, increased conduction loss in power devices, narrow range of zero voltage switching and increased EMI. To overcome these drawbacks, this work suggests a modified phase shifted full bridge converter that keeps the operational duty of the converter high for a wide range of input voltage. This cuts the freewheeling interval and improves performance. The proposed converter consists of four low profile transformers having reconfigurable interconnection structure. There are two distinct reconfigurable modes, a low gain mode and a high gain mode, which can be adopted in accordance with the variation in line voltage. The proposed work is validated in LTspice simulation and hardware characterization for a wide range of input voltage 100-400Vdc/12Vout and up to the load power of 1.2kW.
