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.
 
Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?
While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
