Synthesis Methodology for Multi-Pole ZVT Converters

This paper proposes a novel synthesis methodology to generate integrated ZVT topologies, as well to systematize the topologies already known. It is presented an approach to classify the single pole ZVT converters. This approach can be expanded to multi-pole systems, such as poly-phase inverters and rectifiers. Uninterruptible Power Supplies and Variable-Speed Drives. The connections among several topologies presented so far are easily seen by means of the general diagrams shown in this paper. The analysis and understanding of advantages, disadvantages, merits and limitations of each converter is made easier since these converters are obtained from a common approach presented in this paper.
