The leakage inductance depends on winding geometry, and is not known until transformer is wound.
This inductance can be measured by short circuit
test, or can be estimate for a good, carefully wound
transformer as:
L = 3 % of Lm .

The transistor voltage ratio is usually known parameter. From (7) the dissipation on the clamp resistance RC can be evaluated, and the voltage (URc)
impressed on resistance during the switching off
can be defined by next expression:
U Rc = (1 0.25)U DS ,max ud
(8)
where UDS,max represents the transistor voltage ratio. The resistance RC can be evaluated by:

The ringing phenomena (oscillations) are indicated in Figures 3 and 4. The oscillation appears due
to current stored in leakage inductance L and the
AUTOMATIKA 47(2006) 12, 31 37
reverse recovery charge stored in junction capacitance of the clamp diode Dc. If switch Q1 is turned
off, as it is indicated in Figure 5(a), the inductive
current i is forced to flow through diode Dc. In the
time interval t (t1, t2) the diode Dc and transistor
Q1 commutates (Figure 6). This time interval is
equivalent to the transistor switching-off time toff.
The voltage up (Figure 5) changed from ud to
uo/n. For t < t1 the voltage on Cc is zero due to
the resistance Rc connected in parallel. The initial
inductance current i after t > t1 is equal to the current at the end of Q1 switching-on interval (ILo).

After t3 the diode switches-off and reverse-recovery process starts. In loop appears the reverse recovery charge of diode Dc (this charge is stored in
nonlinear capacitor indicated as Crr) and due to the
dissipation on the diode there is also the resistance
Rrr. Unfortunately, the capacitor Crr with the other
elements in the loop (Figure 5(c)) establishes another oscillatory circuit. This oscillation causes additional dissipation on the resistance Rrr. In order
to evaluate the oscillation parameters (Figure 5(c))
the parallel connection of RC-CC combination has
been transferred in series RS-CC combination by
using criteria of the equal current as it is shown in
Figure 8. Applying KVL around the loop in Figure

In previous section was shown that the oscillatory process (due to reverse recovery capacitance Crr)
provokes additional dissipation on the clamp diode.
This oscillatory process can be damped by using an
additional RC snubber circuit as it is shown in Figure 10. Therefore whole clamp circuit has RC-RCD structure. Due to the different damped frequencies d1 and d2, the resistance Rc is not capable to damp the oscillatory process provoked by
diode capacitance Crr.

After t3 the diode switches-off and reverses recovery process starts. The oscillation caused by capacitor Crr can be damped by appropriate combination of Rcd-Ccd. This process is shown in Figures 14
and 15. In order to estimate transient response
when Rcd-Ccd snubber operates, the situation shown
in Figure 13 (a) must be considered. In first step
the element of partial equivalent circuit can be
evaluated by using transformation, which series
Rcd-Ccd and Crr-Rrr combinations transfer in parallel
Rpcd-Ccd and Crr-Rprr combinations by using criteria
of the equal dissipation as it is shown in Figure
13(c). Resistance Rpcd and Rprr are evaluated by:

Smanjenje gubitaka istitravanja kod neizravnog istosmjernog pretvara~a s transformatorom uporabom RC-RCD prigu{nog ~lana. Neizravni istosmjerni pretvara~ s transformatorom jedan je od najpopularnijih istosmjernih
pretvara~a za izvore napajanja malih snaga. Zbog rasipnog induktiviteta transformatora tijekom rada pretvara~a
dolazi do pojave prenapona, koji se mogu ograni~iti pomo}u disipativnih RCD ili nedisipativnih LCD prigu{nih
sklopova. Oba prigu{na sklopa sadr`e diodu. Reverzni naboj oporavljanja diode uzrokuje oscilacije koje uzrokuju
dodatne gubitke u prigu{nom sklopu. ^lanak opisuje pojavu istitravanja i uporabu RC-RCD prigu{nog sklopa za
prigu{enje oscilacija uzrokovanih prigu{nom diodom. Opisani prigu{ni sklop omogu}ava pove}anje djelotvornosti
neizravnog istosmjernog pretvara~a s transformatorom.
Klju~ne rije~i: gubici istitravanja, neizravni istosmjerni pretvara~ s transformatorom, prigu{ni sklop
