Simulation and Implementation of the Two Switch Serial Input Interleaved Forward Converter

The high voltage DC available in the telecommunication systems has to be converted into low voltage DC for battery charging etc. This paper deals with simulation and implementation of two switch Interleaved Forward Converter for such application. The DC input is converted into high frequency AC using the Forward Converter. The secondary AC is rectified using a half-wave rectifier. Experimental results obtained from the hardware prototype confirm the theoretical analysis and the performance of the proposed converter. The experimental results are compared with those of the simulation.
