Hi All
I am planning to design a DC/DC converter 3kW, 300V input /150V output with no need for isolation. Frequency around 100khz is desirable. On the paper synchronous buck with 400V or 600V Mosfet can do the job. However, at this power range and this frequency I only see people use LLC or phase shifted full bridge. I understand that hard switching at 100khz and 3kW and 300V is very difficult due to reverse recovery current and switching loss. But if I want to use phase shifted full bridge or LLC , I am paying for isolation that I do not need in this application. I do not need transformer and also transformers are lossy too. So what should I do? Is there any other topology that can be used something like a non-isolated soft switch topology?
Thanks.
