    摘要: System and method for managing a cumulative DC offset in a magnetizable material. A primary driving AC voltage and a magnetic flux sensor. The flux sensor output is continuously received into memory while the flux sensor output for each phase half-cycle is processed to continuously compute and re-compute in real time a flux-second integral for each half-cycle. The two half-cycle flux-second integrals are compared to each other for a DC offset value and the offset value drives a slow loop DC compensation circuit to steer a PWM control.

    摘要: A direct-current voltage conversion circuit having on/off control with a dead-time period performed alternately on a first switch and a second switch included in a direct-current voltage conversion circuit. When alternating current flows in a series circuit part including two transformers magnetically independent, current flows in an output circuit including a secondary side of one transformer, and energy is accumulated in the other transformer. The permeabilities of the magnetic cores in the first and second transformers is between 15 and 120.

    摘要: A switching loss of a power conversion device is sufficiently reduced. A DC-DC converter includes a switching circuit that converts input first DC power into AC power, a transformer that performs voltage conversion of the AC power, and an output circuit that converts the AC power subjected to the voltage conversion by the transformer into second DC power. The control circuit that controls the DC-DC converter calculates a magnetic flux density value B of the transformer and controls a drive frequency of the switching circuit based on the calculated magnetic flux density value B.
