This active snubber circuit provides zero voltage transition (ZVT) turn on and zero current transition (ZCT) turn off for the main switch without any extra current or voltage stresses. Auxiliary switch turns on and off with zero current switching (ZCS) without voltage stress. Although there is a current stress on the auxiliary switch, it is decreased by diverting it to the output side with coupling inductance. The proposed PFC converter controls output current and voltage in very wide line and load range. This PFC converter has simple structure, low cost and ease of control as well. In this study, a detailed steady state analysis of the new converter is presented, and the theoretical analysis is verified exactly by 100 kHz and 300 W prototype. This prototype has 98% total efficiency and 0.99 power factor with sinusoidal current shape.
