摘要: 软开关脉宽调制(pulse width modulation,PWM)组合式三电平变换器含有两个变压器,且两个变压器的总伏安定额大于相同输出功率下传统三电平变换器单个变压器的伏安定额。为进一步减小该变换器的体积,提出适用于该变换器的磁集成策略,将两个分立的变压器集成在一个磁芯上。通过合理的设计,不仅可以减小磁芯的体积和重量,而且可以降低磁芯损耗,提高变换器的效率。推导该变换器的多种磁集成方案,选择出合适的磁集成策略,并多角度分析采用磁集成策略后对变换器性能的改善,最后通过一台54V/20A的原理样机进行实验验证。Abstract: Soft-switching pulse width modulation (PWM) combined three-level converter has two transformers and the total VA ratings of them are larger than that of a single transformer in traditional three-level converter with the same output power.In this paper,feasible magnetics integration schemes were proposed to combine the two transformers into a single core structure with savings of the core loss and size and then the efficiency increased.The derivation process of the proposed integration scheme and its effect to the converter were discussed in detail from various aspects.Experimental results from a 54 V/20 A prototype validated the theoretical analysis and demonstrated the advantages of the proposed scheme.
