Full zero-voltage-transition (ZVT) as well as zero-current-transition (ZCT) may also be achieved by adding a simple auxiliary network across the DC rail which operates only during the short turn-on transients of the bridge switches. Similarly, a simple, inexpensive auxiliary circuit can be added to the DC rail of a conventional voltage source inverter shown to implement both ZVT and ZCT.application/pdfen-USPatenthttp://pimg-fpiw.uspto.gov/fdd/93/337/056/0.pdf8376365363/127363/132H02M7/4826H02M7/062H02M7/219H02M7/5387Y02B70/14415633793
