Definitions
- the invention relates to a soft switching auxiliary circuit for a half bridge switching resonant inverter which can enable zero voltage transition in the capacitive zone and zero current transition in the inductive zone and which can function within a wide load range.
- An inverter is an electrical converter which converts direct current (DC) to alternative current (AC).
- the AC power generated at the outlet of the inverter can be at any voltage and frequency depending on the transformers, switching and control circuits used.
- inverters made of semiconductors do not have movable parts. It has a wide usage area from low power switching power supplies used in computers to the high- power systems which supply power to electric distribution networks. They are generally used for converting DC power provided from the power sources such as solar panels, wind turbines and batteries to AC power in a controlled way. Briefly, inverters can convert DC power to AC power at the desired voltage, force and frequency by carrying out the reverse function of the AC-DC rectifiers.
