摘要: This paper presents an efficiency analysis of a recently-published topology, the multilevel-active-clamped (MAC) topology. In order to assess MAC comparison between four-level leg and conventional two-level operating in low voltage is carried out. First, overall losses both topologies are estimated. Then, experimental tests measure their presented. Finally, obtained results from compared with estimations substantiate analysis. The topology higher all switching-frequency range.
