Abstract

A DC-DC converter includes a transformer and a switching element. The primary winding of the transformer and the switching element are connecting in series with a DC power source. A DC output is extracted via a rectifier circuit connected to a secondary winding of the transformer. A capacitor is connected in parallel to the switching element, and a saturable reactor is connected between the secondary winding of the transformer and the rectifier.
