Super useful video. It looks I accidentally re-discovered the active phase shifted PWM when I was designing my inverter circuit. I knew it was probably extensively explored in literature, but I just was having fun playing with timings myself to improve the circuit. I think it is very elegant, and with DSP control it is also really easy to tweak. One can for example actively monitor voltages at the switching nodes, and figure out when is the right time to do transitions as quickly as possible.

I've built a ZVS driver using the third option the passive lossless snubber because I need the capacitor to dump all its energy at once in the primary coil of my flyback, the flyback produces about 150KV, I can pull 15cm very hot plasma arcs with it... You're absolutely right about the safety, it's very very dangerous indeed. But a lot of fun to play with.

You do an excellent job of explaining voltage snubbers in this video! I am trying to create a LT Spice model to simulate different snubber configurations and view the timing so I can gain more experience. One of the questions I now have is: How can I be sure I have selected an appropriate diode for the application? (short of building it in hardware and testing it for magic smoke)

Hi, Thank for comment and for finding the error. Yes, you are absolutely correct. A slip of the tongue.

Thanks professor, I was just wondering that in the first example you are using snubber in parallel to diode, doesn't this provide a path for current to flow in the reverse direction when the diode is in blocking mode?

@sambenyaakov

Only after reverse conduction of diode is completed. Before that the voltage of diode is still low.

@@sambenyaakov Sorry, I asked question wrong. I had in mind the following: what part of the loss falls on turning-on and which on turning-off of the the transistor. What is more significant loss on turning-on or loss on turning-off or they equal? In datasheet of the transistor there is Eon and Eoff - parameters, where Eoff>Eon. Does this mean turn-off losses more than turn-on losses?

Respected professor I am in confusion to select which type of converter. Isolated or no isolated or soft switching techniques for 1mw pv system. Can you help me where can I get all the information regarding DC DC converter.

Hi, This is a too general question. You have to specify required output voltage. There might also be a problem of a start up.

I sometimes find it confusing trying to follow your thoughts because I don't have a clue where your pen is pointing to. That said, it was very enlightening to know warts and all about the reality of circuits and their components. Have you given any thought about the same topic but done with vacuum tubes instead? Would they perform better or worse? Could you do a video on the Ćuk converter? Other video suggestion would be protection at the input and at the output when power is lost or load is disconnected or developes a short. Thanks.

@@DOODI7100 This circuit gives no advantage at switch-on . In fact, there is a slight disadvantage at switch-on because the voltage on the lossless capacitor must be reversed via the resonant circuit which results in a half sinusoidal current peak .

At 27:15, i can see a capacitor in series with inductor. But this capacitor was removed in further explanations. May i know the reason for the absence of this capacitor. Will this converter be still a resonant converter even in the absence of this series capacitor.?

You have a keen eye. The capacitor is used to avoid average DC voltage on the transformer. If, however, one uses PCM control than the capcitor may not be needed.

Sam - on the very first slide, you show two different hand-drawn graphs both labeled "ID". One appears to be the switch drain current, the other appears to be diode current including reverse recovery (also drawn below the schematic with an inductor labeled Ls instead of Lm like in the schematic). They are completely different. The schematic does not have any label defining what is ID? This is confusing to a student trying to learn this for the first time. Please make sure that variables are uniquely identified, and properly labeled in the schematic.
