High ouput power voltage using half bridge resonant

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a project using a half bridge converter with the IR2153 to achieve high output voltage through LTspice simulation. The main inquiry is about why the voltage across the two capacitors in the half bridge topology does not equal half the source voltage (Vs/2) as theoretically expected. Participants suggest that the behavior of the capacitors is influenced by the switching of the MOSFETs (M1 and M2) and the transformer in the circuit. Clarifications are sought regarding the current supply and the role of capacitors and resistors in converting AC to DC voltage. The conversation emphasizes understanding the dynamics of the circuit during the MOSFET switching process.

Hi


Im doing a project based on half bridge converter of IR2153 which could produce a high output voltage using the LTspice simulation by means of half bridge topology. Well, I am just wondering as the volatge across the two capacitors that is pointed in the image shown wasnt give half the volatge source as stated in the theory of half bridge voltage source inverter. Can someone point me out and explain why the volatge across these two capacitor was not Vs/2? Does it something to do with some interference produced by the transformer in the cicuit? Thanks in advance.

Trace what happens as M1 and M2 are alternately switched on / off. ALL of the current for the transformer comes from where?
 
The diagram below shows the voltage measured from the gate of M1 and M2. The blue graph and the green graph is the voltage in M1 and M2 respectively. The current supplied is basically comes from the main supply which is translated to DC voltage by means of capacitor and resistor connected labelled C1 and R1 from my understanding. Correct me if I am wrong.

Sorry I think you misunderstood... in the 1st post - follow the circuit and think about what happens to the caps - as the MOSFETs are turned on and off?
 
I am bit confused at the moment. what do you mean by the caps?
 
Back from Travels... But your OP queries "explain why the volatge across these two capacitor was not Vs/2"

What happens to these - when the MOSFETS turn on and off.
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
