A quasi-resonant pole inverter provides soft-switching of the main inverter switch devices only when such opportunities are required by the pulse width modulation control. The inverter includes a main switching section and an auxiliary switching section. A phase-pole of the main switching section swings from source to ground potential with the assistance of the auxiliary switching section. The phase-pole swings from ground to source potential with the assistance of the auxiliary switching section. Low switch stresses are characteristic in both the main switching section devices and the auxiliary section switching devices. Main power is carried predominantly through the DC rails thereby minimizing power handling requirements of quasi-resonant reactive components.

An auxiliary quasi-resonant dc link (AQRDCL) converter is employed to achieve soft-switching in an inverter coupled to a dc supply via a resonant dc link circuit. The resonant dc link circuit generates a quasi-resonant voltage to the inverter via a resonant bus. The dc link circuit includes upper and lower capacitors coupled to series between the positive and negative rails of the dc supply, respectively, with the voltage across the lower capacitor being controlled to be greater than the voltage across the upper capacitor. In this way, the need for a switch shorting the resonant bus to ground during a resonant cycle is avoided. An auxiliary switching device assists resonant operation of the resonant bus to zero voltage in order to provide a zero-voltage switching opportunity for the inverter switching devices as the inverter changes state. The AQRDCL then quickly resonates back up to the positive rail voltage as a clamping circuit clamps the resonant bus voltage thereto either with or without the assistance of a second auxiliary switching device, as desired. The auxiliary switching device(es) operates under zero-current switching conditions and at a rate that is below the resonant frequency of the resonant dc link circuit. In addition to high efficiency, the AQRDCL converter has low current and voltage stresses and uses a minimal number of circuit components. The AQRDCL may be used to achieve soft-switching in a variety of inverter topologies, including a switched reluctance machine inverter.

In order to energize a load with an output current generally conforming to a control voltage, trains of firing pulses are alternately applied during respective conduction intervals of a recurrence period to a pair of main thyristors connected to opposite terminals of a balanced power supply which may be a DC source. The main thyristors are quenched, at the ends of their respective conduction intervals, by ancillary thyristors which lie in series with a resonant circuit including a commutating capacitor and alternately receive firing pulses in continuous succession in order to keep that capacitor operatively connected at all times to one or the other terminal of the power supply. The transmission of firing pulses to the several thyristors is timed by a logic circuit under the control of a comparator to which the control voltage is fed together with a sawtooth voltage establishing the aforementioned recurrence period.

摘要:
A method for providing non-resonant zero-voltage switching in a switching power converter. The switching power converter converts power from input power to output power during multiple periodic switching cycles. The switching power converter includes a main switch and an auxiliary capacitor adapted for connecting to the main switch, and an inductor connectible to the auxiliary capacitor. When the main switch is on, a previously charged (or previously discharged) auxiliary capacitor is connected to the main switch with auxiliary switches. The main switch is switched off with zero voltage while discharging non-resonantly (charging) the auxiliary capacitor by providing a current path to the inductor. The auxiliary capacitor is disconnected from the main switch. The voltage of the auxiliary capacitor is charged and discharged alternatively during subsequent switching cycles. The voltage of the auxiliary capacitor stays substantially the same until the subsequent turn off of the main switch during the next switching cycle with substantially no energy loss in the auxiliary capacitor.
