    Buck converter with a pi filter

    Thanks...So if I were to change the switch to the positive line, will it it be suitable to filter harmonics at at 100 kHz with this configuration?

    Buck converter with a pi filter

    Im building an ac/dc converter for a battery charger, it takes in 120V AC in and outputs 90V DC at 20A max. To further improve the output performance of the buck converter, i decided to build a pi filter containing 2 capacitors and an inductor..it is essentially used to filter harmonics at at...

    Power electronic converter duty ratio

    Hi, thanks your reply. Thanks make more sense...how about if the converter is an Ac/ac cuk converter....would be simultaneously valid?

    Power electronic converter duty ratio

    I have read from several different sources that the duty ratio for a Cuk converter is (Vo/Vin)=(-D/(1-D) but several other sources say its: (Vo/Vin)=(D/(1-D) which is the correct one...i'm tad bit confused..

    Short cirucit protection

    That is true, it is for a project I am doing in school..so I have no choice but to use it...since it is a cuk topology- it goes beyond the input voltage, and the conversion factor can be achieved for both inductive and resistive loads.

    Short cirucit protection

    Hi, thanks for the advice..it shouldn't have more then 2 amps of flow through it, would you suggest something like this to be a suitable solution http://uk.farnell.com/multicomp/an-161-fc67203/circuit-breaker-1-6a/dp/698246

    Short cirucit protection

    I have built an AC/AC cuk converter for an assignment I am doing. It works as such, I provide 50V AC in and I get an adjustable voltage out from 0V to 50V AC, depending on the duty cycle of the PWM that I gate to the MOSFETs. It is designed to supply a max of 1.5A rms to the load. I have...

    [SOLVED] Bi-directional AC-AC CUK converter

    Hi, once again thanks for the suggestions. I was pondering with an extremely simple idea of using a ad648 op-amp with a variable dc voltage on the inverting input and a fixed saw tooth waveform at say 4KHz at the non inverting input working as a comparator producing a form of PWM signals which...

    [SOLVED] Bi-directional AC-AC CUK converter

    Hi, thanks for the advice. Yes, the gating wave forms are to be coordinated on both sides and I can confirm that simple on-off switching sequence would suffice. Unfortunately I am unable to determine how exactly should I implement the simple on-off switching sequence. Once again thank you for...

    [SOLVED] Bi-directional AC-AC CUK converter

    I am trying to build a specific AC-AC cuk converter for a project of mine. It involves the use of 4 MOSFETs configured in bi-directional switching states. I've included a picture of the schematic. I am essentially building a solid state 'electronic' variac(variable autotransformer). I input 80v...
