Projeto e implementação de um retificador isolado em alta frequência

Abstract

This paper presents the development and implementation of a high power factor full-bridge rectifier with high frequency isolation for UPS applications. This converter is composed by a multiphase boost converter operating in continuous mode (CCM) integrated with a ZVS DC-DC full-bridge converter without the output inductor and operating in discontinuous mode (DCM). The topology presents intrinsic ZVS commutation allowing the operation with lower switching losses at higher frequencies. It also presents multiphase operation and input current ripple reduction by using two input inductors. The structure bridgeless rectifier reduces the number of semiconductors in conduction of power circuit, presenting lower conduction losses. The implementation of a new power loop control, allows a better dynamic converter response. Details of the control strategy and circuits components design are presented. The results are verified through a prototype with switching frequency equal to 43,2 kHz and the maximum efficiency is equal to 92,2 % at nominal power, 1,7 kW. A new control with two independent modulations is also proposed, allowing the converter operating also as step-down voltage. This modification provides greater range of converter output voltage and thus the output of the UPS.
