Inductance Value Considerations

The most important design parameter.

Lower inductance value leads to higher power transfer capability and therefore smaller range of the phase shift for a given max power.

Maximum inductance value that will allow the required maximum power transfer is given by

Minimum value of inductance can be calculated using the minimum phase shift, a specified minimum load, and a specified maximum output voltage.

Lower inductance reduces size and allows integration with the transformer.

Lower inductance leads to smaller capacitance requirement, lower rms capacitor current, and lower rms currents in the transformer and the switches.

Higher inductance enables ZVS range to a lower power level

Higher inductance increases Vdc1/Vdc2 range for ZVS operation

Starting point for optimization: XL = 0.25 – 0.5 p.u.

Magnetizing Inductance

Leakage inductance is not sufficient to ensure soft-switching at light load.

Increasing soft-switching range to lighter loads by increasing L increases

rms currents.

Typically L may be chosen to get soft-switching down to 1/2‒1/3 of the rated

load. For lighter loads a finite magnetizing inductance is more effective for

ensuring soft-switching.

The magnetizing current is higher at small phase shifts (low loads) and

lower at higher phase shifts (high loads) and therefore acts in complement

with the leakage inductance to extend the ZVS range. [2]

Reducing magnetizing inductance Lm reduces the maximum power transfer

capability of the converter.

This is not a real problem from a design point of view since the rated power

is usually less than the maximum power transfer capability.

A starting point for the magnetizing inductance is Lm=10xL. Equations

including Lm are given in Appendix.

Transformer and Capacitor Design

Transformer design with magnetic integration: Compute worst case rms currents in the windings

Compute worst case flux in each path of the magnetic structure

Choose core areas starting with an assumption for the operating flux density (e.g., 0.15 Tesla for 3F3 type Ferrite, 0.25 Tesla for nano-crystalline)

Compute total loss in windings and magnetic material, considering the flux in each part of the structure

Check if loss meets target efficiency and thermal constraints

Compute worst case capacitor ripple current for input and output from the inductor current waveforms assuming Lm is very large. Determine capacitance required to meet ripple specification.

Simulate to verify efficiency and ripple at different load, input and output voltages
