Conclusions – Active Clamp Converters • Derived from Hard-Switched Converters by the addition of few Resonant elements following the simple rule. • Circuit equations governing these sub-intervals are identical when expressed in terms of pole current; throw voltage and freewheeling resonant circuit voltage (I, V, and VC). • Steady state and Dynamic equivalent circuits are obtained from this idealized analysis. • The resonant sub-interval introduces lossless damping in the converter dynamics.
Advantages – Active Clamp Converter • High Efficiency - ZVS • Simple Dynamic Model • Wide Variety of Topologies
