power stage is a traditional half bridge,
where the intermediate circuit DC-voltage is
halved by working capacitors C2 and C3.
IGBT-transistors work as power switches.
When both IGBTs are non-conductive, no
power is transferred.
When the upper IGBT V2 is conductive, the
U
main transformer T1´s primary side has
V3
positive voltage. When the lower IGBT is
conductive, there is negative voltage.
Power is adjusted by altering the IGBT-
transistors conductive timings (PWM).
The main transformer T1´s secondary
voltages are rectified by a full-wave
rectifier.
