Analysis and design of a three-phase LCC-type resonant converter

Abstract

A three-phase dc-to-dc LCC-type resonant converter with high-frequency transformer isolation is proposed. The operation and a simple analysis of the converter are presented. Design curves are obtained and a design example is given. SPICE simulation and experimental results are presented to verify the performance of the proposed converter for varying load conditions. The converter proposed has several advantages, e.g., operation in lagging PF mode for the entire load range, requires a narrow variation required in switching frequency, reduced component size and stresses, etc.
