Popis: The active gate drive (AGD) technique is payed attention as a switching technique which can reduced both of switching loss and surge voltage. So far, only switching loss and surge voltage of main switch have been discussed, and the reverse recovery characteristic of rectification diode has not been discussed. In addition, the mechanism of loss and surge reduction has not been clarified. In this paper, the influence of AGD on reverse recovery characteristics, and the mechanism of loss and surge reduction are discussed for system reliability improvement. As a result, the mechanism of loss and surge reduction is clarified.
