Analysis of Dual-Way Converter Using Modified H-Bridge Circuit

This paper presents a modified H-bridge circuit that can operates the common converter in power electronic study namely full wave rectifier. The common topology used to drive the full wave rectifier known as Wheatstone bridge circuit to perform the conversion. However, the default H-bridge circuit has the body drain diode in the power switches which can cause a leakage current and allow the reverse current direction during the conversion. This problem can be solved by modified the default H-bridge with a different topology to block the reverse current phenomenon. This study is simulated using PSIM software and validate thru hardware implementation. The final results show the proposed circuit can handle the conversion perfectly without facing any noise or disturbance.
