    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a three-phase AC/DC converter aiming for low input current harmonic. The converter includes an input stage for receiving a three-phase AC input voltage, an output stage for at least one load, and one or more switching conversion stages, each stage including a plurality of half bridge modules. The switches in each module operate with a substantially fixed 50% duty cycle and are connected in a specific pattern to couple a DC-link and a neutral node of the input voltage. The AC/DC converter further includes one or more controllers adapted to vary the switching frequency of the switches in the switching conversion stages based on at least one of load voltage, load current, input voltage, and DC-link voltage. The converter can also include one or more decoupling stages, such as, inductive components adapted to decouple the output stage from the switching conversion stages.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a printed circuit board (PCB) based planar winding structure for a main power transformer and/or an auxiliary power need. The PCB-based planar winding structure can confine electric field through magnetic core potential control and thus create partial discharge (PD) free design for medium voltage (MV) applications. Meanwhile, the winding structure can be formed in the PCB manufacturing process to create a more modular and reliable structure, thereby enhancing manufacturability. Techniques, such as termination treatment, primary and secondary winding arrangements, etc., can be used to control the electrical stress in the medium voltage applications.

    Abstract: A three-phase AC-DC converter is provided that can offer a low total harmonic distortion (THD) of input current and good power factor with the capability of soft-switching of the active switches. In one aspect, a phase shift is introduced to the gate signal of one of the primary side active switches of the three-phase AC-DC converter and the gate signal of a corresponding one of the secondary side active switches of the three-phase AC-DC converter.
