The proposed converter has an auxiliary IGBTS, auxiliary inductor, auxiliary capacitor and bypass diodes are additionally to the main converter module. Usually, the zero-current transition achieved for the main IGBTs circuit has major advantages like reduced turn-off losses, overall conduction losses and minimized reverse recovery problems to the anti-parallel diodes of the main IGBTs. The operation principles, simulation and experimental investigations on 150 V/250 V/1 kW laboratory prototype are presented in order to show the performance and also to verify the soft-switching characteristics in boost/buck modes of the converter.</p><p><span>DOI: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.eie.24.4.21471">http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.eie.24.4.21471</a></span></p>}, number={4}, journal={Elektronika ir Elektrotechnika}, author={Kumar Aylapogu, Pramod and Kumar Bhajana, Veera Venkata Subrahmanya and Drabek, Pavel and Jara, Martin}, year={2018}, month={Aug.}, pages={8-14} }
