The present invention is concerned with resonant power converter operation during a transient overcurrent condition. According to the invention, the resonant power converter is provided with a damping resistor (61) to be connected in parallel to a capacitor (31) of a resonant circuit (30) of the resonant power converter (1) in case of a contingency condition. The damping resistor (61) results in a damping of the resonant circuit and in a reduction of peak and turn-off currents in the power semiconductor switches (S1, S2) of the resonant power converter at loads exceeding a rated load of the resonant power converter and occurring in case of a contingency condition, specifically during a transient overcurrent condition. The resonant power converter (1) therefore may continue operating under contingency conditions. Tripping or otherwise proactively inactivating the resonant power converter may be avoided or at least delayed until normal converter operation is resumed as a result of a contingency condition root cause elimination, specifically as a result of an automatic fault clearance by some converter-external load protections means.

A frequency limitation method used in quasi-resonant control of a switching regulator is disclosed. The switching frequency is limited through setting a minimum time limit, such as a minimum switching period or a minimum OFF time. The minimum time limit may be a first time limit or a second time limit. The minimum time limit is changed into another value if the minimum voltage point approaches the minimum time limit point, so as to eliminate the audible noise.

This system includes a transformer separable/detachable between a primary winding and a secondary winding, and a capacitor connected parallel to the secondary winding of the above-mentioned transformer, and supplies a high-frequency AC voltage to the primary winding of the transformer to generate an induced voltage in the secondary winding of the transformer, and transmits the electrical power to a load in non-contact manner. The voltage supplied to the load is constant and the flowing current varies. The power may be supplied to a different kind of a load with a constant voltage. Taking as a first condition a fact that at the time of a maximum load, the time of the reversal of the voltage polarity of the above-mentioned primary winding substantially coincides with the time when an oscillating voltage of the above-mentioned capacitor reaches a maximum or minimum value, and taking as a second condition a fact that at the time of a minimum load, the time of the reversal of the voltage polarity of the above-mentioned primary winding substantially coincides with the time when the oscillating voltage of the above-mentioned capacitor completes one cycle, the above-mentioned capacitor is set so that the capacity value satisfies simultaneously the above-mentioned first and second conditions. This allows the load voltage to be made constant in a load current range from a minimum to a maximum without requiring a feedback circuit.
