Abstract:
This seminar report presents a controlled single switch stepdown ac/dc converter
without transformer which can be used in voltages between 90- 230 Vrms. Instead
of a transformer, this topology consists of a buck dc/dc converter and a buck boost
dc/dc converter. By the absence of transformer, reduce the complexity of converter
and it is cost effective. Buck dc/dc converter keeps o/p voltage below the line voltage;
limit the leakage current. By controlling the circuit with feedback, we can increasing
the efficiency and reduce total harmonic distortion. Output voltage is 40 V with
THD 12.3 percentage. And output current is near 4 A. For further modification a
feedback PI controller is used. After using PI controller THD is reduced to 6.23
percentage. Thus using controlled circuit harmonic content is reduced and efficiency
is improved. Working of the proposed circuit and verification by simulation results
are discussed in this seminar report. Simulation is done in MATLAB. The general
features, working and analysis of a newly Controlled Single Switch Step down AC/DC
Converter without Transformer is explored.
