Popis: This paper proposes a new parallel loaded resonant converter operating in a narrow switching frequency under wide output voltage range. The proposed converter is capable of operating under zero-voltage switching turn- on of switches and zero-current switching turn- off of diodes. Also, the resonant capacitor with feasible capacitance and current rating can be selected by adjusting the turn ratio of the transformer, making the proposed converter more realizable in high power application. Further, the proposed converter has zero voltage gain at notch resonant frequency, and therefore there are no current and voltage stress in the resonant tank during start-up. Experimental results from a 3-kW prototype are provided to validate the proposed concept.
