A major cause of losses in a conventional power supply using a 50/60-Hz transformer is the bridge rectifier. This article shows how to build a “greener” rectifier, substantially reducing losses by ...

The quest for higher power and greater efficiency in all power supplies never ends, especially when it comes to all heavy-duty converters. Some examples are power supplies used in data centers, ...

The phase-shifted full bridge (PSFB) shown in Figure 1 is popular in applications >500 W because it can achieve soft switching on its input switches for high converter efficiency. Although switching ...

The topic of this paper is the development of guidelines for the practical application of a new power module realizing a bridge leg of a three-phase/switch/level ...
