Low Input Current Ripple Quasi-Single-Stage Power Supply Based on Double Resonant Tank LLC Converter for Maglev Control System Applications

High input voltage, multiple low voltage outputs and high working temperature are the main design challenges for magnetic levitation (maglev) control power supply. The traditional solutions have several problems, such as the uncontrolled duty ratio, the poor cross-regulation capability and low reliability. In order to solve these problems, a quasi-single-stage solution employing the double resonant tank LLC topology is proposed and developed in this paper. The proposed solution can increase significantly the overall conversion efficiency because of the achieved soft-switching over the entire operation range. Moreover, the low input current ripple, high magnetic utilization and high reliability can be achieved. Experimental results of a 210-W laboratory prototype with 220–380V input and four outputs are presented to demonstrate the declared features.
