Abstract
Multiphase series-resonant (SR) power converters provide a flexible way to
transform power between a utility grid and a multiphase load or source. The current
implementations all suffer from a high component count, which makes the use of these
converters unattractive from an economical point of view.
A new topology for multiphase SR converters has been proposed in Dc Beer, 1991 in
a simulation context. This topology uses half the number of power semiconductors
compared to the existing multiphase SR converters.
The present paper addresses the implementation of the new topology in a prototype
converter. Simulation data and measured waveforms are shown, and a comparison is
made between the new and the existing topologies. It is shown that the reduction in
corn ponent count is offset by a lower power rating.
