Simple passive lossless snubber for high-power multilevel inverters

IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, 2006
A passive lossless snubber circuit for multilevel inverters is proposed in this paper. The topology is simple and requires no extra control circuit. In order to reduce the high-voltage stress on power switches with this snubber circuit, an improved snubber circuit is presented by adding separate low-power direct current voltage sources into the ...

Optimal Design of Lossless Passive Snubber for DC/DC Converters

First International Conference on Innovative Computing, Information and Control - Volume I (ICICIC'06), 2006
This paper presents an optimal design of lossless passive snubber for DC/DC converters, which offers an efficient and best design method. The proposed method can not only reduce the spike voltage Vdsp of a power switch in the circuit, but also raise the conversion efficiency of the converter.

Improvements to the passive lossless snubbers for power bridge legs

Journal of Electronics (China), 2001
The paper considers three common snubber circuits used on gate turn-off thyristor and/or insulated gate bipolar transistor inverters. The three snubbers are passive lossless circuits for power bridge legs, and the improvements and modifications to these snubber circuits are presented.

Multi-output auxiliary power supply with lossless snubber

2011 6th IEEE Conference on Industrial Electronics and Applications, 2011
A multi-output auxiliary power supply realized by a flyback converter is presented for providing the needed low power supplied for the control circuits and driving circuits in power processing systems. In the proposed circuit topology, lossless snubbers are introduced into the flyback converter to recover energy trapped in leakage inductor of ...

Soft‐Switching Interleaved PFC Converter with Lossless Snubber

Electrical Engineering in Japan, 2016
SUMMARYThis paper describes a soft‐switching interleaved power factor correction (PFC) converter with a lossless snubber. AC–DC converters require a unity input power factor characteristic with highly efficient operation to prevent the inflow of harmonic current to the power source.

Soft-Switching Bidirectional Buck/Boost Converter With a Lossless Passive Snubber

IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, 2020
This article introduces a new lossless passive snubber for the bidirectional buck/boost converter. The proposed snubber comprises a low number of passive components which jointly contribute to achieve soft switching condition at both the buck and boost operations of the converter.

An improved passive lossless turn-on and turn-off snubber

Proceedings Eighth Annual Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition,, 2002
An improved passive lossless turn on/off snubber is proposed, where energy trapped in the snubber is transferred to both the DC rail and the load. A wider operational range of load current, a higher switching frequency and lower peak switch current make this circuit more practical than conventional lossless snubbers. Design equations, simulations based

Soft-switching-interleaved power factor correction converter with lossless snubber

IECON 2013 - 39th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, 2013
This paper describes a soft-switching-interleaved power factor correction (PFC) converter. The proposed PFC converter reduces the input-current ripple by using an interleave-control method and realizes high efficiency through the soft-switching operation of all switching devices, without requiring a large auxiliary resonant circuit. In order to confirm

A passive lossless snubber cell for nonisolated PWM DC/DC converters

IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, 1998
A passive lossless snubber cell is proposed to improve the turn-on and turnoff transients of the MOSFETs in nonisolated pulsewidth modulated (PWM) DC/DC converters. Switching losses and EMI noise are reduced by restricting di/dt of the reverse-recovery current and dv/dt of the drain-source voltage.

A boost converter with lossless snubber under minimum voltage stress

APEC. Seventeenth Annual IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition (Cat. No.02CH37335), 2003
A passive lossless turn-on/turn-off snubber network is proposed for the boost PWM converter. Besides the benefit of small number of added components, all the devices block the voltage no more than the output DC voltage. The operation principle and design guideline is presented.
