2) Output rectifier diodes: in the output rectifier, thediode reverse voltage is:2.200 2.200v,., = n .-= 0,6 .-= 200.0V(2 D,) (2 0.8)The interaction of the transformer leakage inductance withthe rectifier capacitance during the reverse-recoveryprocesses causes overshoots of the diode reverse voltage.The overshoots can be controlled using soft-recoveryrectifiers and a clamping circuit such as that shown in Fig. 6.The diode's average current is given by50lDrlD,Z,vp = '0 = - = 25.OA2 2In the same way, to determine the external resonantcapacitor the output intrinsic MOSFET's capacitances C,are subtracted; C, are of 870pF and 980pF.In this section experimental waveforms obtained for anoutput power of P0=2780W and P0=90W are presented.The waveforms obtained for P0=2780W are shown inFigs. 7 and 8. On the other hand, the waveforms obtained forP0=90W are shown in Figs. 9 and 10. These results confmthe soft commutation features of the converter.The output characteristic, the clamping characteristic andthe esciency of the converter are shown in Figs. 11, 12 and13 respectively. They confirm the theoretically predictedresults.V.
