In this paper, a soft switching buck dc/dc converter applicable for fuel cell has been analyzed and the complete details of designing have been presented. Reduction in switching losses and the elimination of voltage/current stresses of the switches are the major advantages of the aforementioned converter. In this converter, the switches are to be ON under zero voltage and zero current conditions, whereas they are to be OFF under zero voltage condition. This converter can be used in high switching frequency. In this paper, the principles of the performance, full details of the analyses of conduction modes, and designing approach have been presented. The performance and correct operation of the converter are validated by the experimental and simulation in PSCAD/EMTDC software.
