Abstract

The paper presents an investigation of IGBT’s zero current switching (ZCS) losses in a quasi-sinusoidal current mode series resonant converter.
Theoretically, losses does not occur when the IGBT is switched at zero current. However, experiments show the opposite and switching losses are not negligible.
Manufacturer’s datasheet do not indicate IGBT’s performance under ZCS condition which results in a lack of information to reduce the impact of the converter losses in order to reach high power density.
A parametric model for the stored charge evacuated from the IGBT during turn off process is proposed based on experimental results.
The impact of the ZCS modulation scheme and the magnetizing inductance of the transformer on zero current switching losses is discussed.
