Abstract: Unique systems, methods, techniques and apparatuses of a power converter are disclosed. One exemplary embodiment is a resonant power converter comprising a DC bus, a primary leg, an auxiliary leg, and an LC resonant circuit. The auxiliary leg is coupled between DC bus and includes a first auxiliary switch and a second auxiliary switch coupled at an auxiliary midpoint connection. The LC resonant circuit includes an air-core resonant inductor and a resonant capacitor coupled between the auxiliary midpoint connection and a primary midpoint connection of the primary leg. A controller is structured to control the first and second auxiliary switch and the first and second primary switch so as to provide resonant operation of the LC resonant circuit effective to provide a substantially zero voltage condition across the first and second primary switch while toggling the switches.

Abstract: Unique systems, methods, techniques and apparatuses for a ZVT ZCT resonant converter with a variable resonant tank are disclosed. One exemplary embodiment is a system comprising a bidirectional resonant converter comprising an input/output terminal, a switching device coupled with the input/output terminal, a resonant circuit coupled with the switching device and including a variable inductor, an output/input terminal coupled with the resonant circuit, and a DC biasing circuit operatively coupled with the variable inductor. The variable inductor comprises a toroidal core, a first winding wound around the toroidal core and coupled with the switching device and the output/input terminal, a second core structured to overlap a portion of the toroidal core, and a second winding wound around the second core and coupled with the DC biasing circuit. The DC biasing circuit is controllable to vary the inductance of the variable inductor by saturating a portion of the toroidal core.

Abstract: A method of operating a static transfer switch is provided. The method includes monitoring a voltage waveform for each phase of first and second power sources, and calculating flux for each phase of the power sources. The method also includes determining (i) a first flux difference between the respective flux of the first phases of the first and second power sources, (ii) a second flux difference between the respective flux of the second phases of the first and second power sources, and (iii) a third flux difference between the respective flux of the third phases of the first and second power sources. The method further includes turning off a third solid-state switch to disconnect the third phase of the first power source from a load, in response to the controller determining that the third flux difference is greater the first and second flux differences.

Abstract: A device may include a core structure having low permeability characteristics and defining a first cross-sectional area, a coil member including one or more loops that winds around the core structure and defines a second cross-sectional area. The second cross-sectional area is between 1.2 to 5 times larger than the first cross-sectional area. The device may include a frame member positioned around the core structure or a portion thereof and the coil member may wind around the frame member to define the second cross-sectional area. The core structure may be composed of a low permeability magnetic material having a low relative permeability. The core structure may be composed of a high permeability magnetic material and the core structure may further include an air gap structure to enable the core structure to demonstrate the low permeability characteristics.

Abstract: A device includes a core structure including a first end plate and a second end plate. The first end plate and second end plate include a first portion and a second portion that extend from opposing sides of a third portion and include an increasing cross-sectional area configured to provide soft saturation properties in response to increasing electrical current. The core structure may further include a coil member and a core section. The core section is disposed between the first plate member and second plate member. The core section includes a first core member, a second core member, and a central disc member. The core section also includes a channel formed between the central disc member and the first core member and the second core member to enable the coil member to circumferentially wind around the central disc member.
