Major Field of Science: | Engineering and Technology | Field Category: | Electrical Engineering - Electronic Engineering - Information Engineering | Keywords: | Semiconductor devices;Snubber circuits | Issue Date: | 7-Nov-2019 | Source: | 54th International Universities Power Engineering Conference, Bucharest, Romania, 3-6 September, 2019 | Conference: | International Universities Power Engineering Conference | Abstract: | Conventional snubber networks which are used to remove the stress from semiconductor devices during turning-on and turning-off are used to shape the switching locus to keep it within the Safe Operating Area (SOA) and to reduce the turn-on and turn-off switching losses in the switching devices. Usually a large snubber inductance or capacitance is found to be effective in reducing the dissipation in a resistor. It would be more efficient if, after extracting the switching energy from the semiconductor device, to feed this energy somewhere useful instead of dissipating it as a heat. By doing so, the overall efficiency of the converter would be improved. This is the aim of energy-efficient snubber circuits which is presented in this paper. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/18578 | ISBN: | 978-1-7281-3349-2 | DOI: | 10.1109/UPEC.2019.8893471 | Rights: | © IEEE Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 United States |
