광범위한 부하 적용을 위한 25kW급 고주파 위상천이 PWM 풀브리지 DC/DC 컨버터 개발

초록

This paper describes a 25 kW phase-shifted full-bridge converter (PSFB) operating at a high frequency. The switching frequency was set to 500 kHz, and a SiC MOSFET full-bridge module was applied to the PSFB for high power density, which contains state-of-the-art semiconductor device technology, along with PCB and transformer designs optimized for high frequency. Because the applicability to a wide range of load conditions is a key concern, this paper also analyzes the conditions for achieving broad zero-voltage switching (ZVS). It proposes a gate driver that fulfills this purpose based on the analysis. The enhanced operation, incorporating design considerations, was verified through simulations and experiments under various resistive load conditions.
