Abstract

A novel isolated dc-dc forward converter with a regenerative snubber circuit is introduced in this paper. Regenerative operation is achieved by effective utilization of the tertiary winding transformer. Due to easy control of the turn’s ratio of the transformer, the capacitor gets easily charged which in turn improves the overall efficiency of the converter. The performance of the circuit is analyzed by simulation and using hardware. The proposed converter also achieves ZVS without any additional circuitry
