ABSTRACT:
An AC to DC converter employing a resonant circuit and an auxiliary controllable switch such that the main controllable switch is turned off at zero current. A coupled saturable inductor is connected to the resonant circuit and the associated switching diode so that the turnoff stress of the switching diode is greatly reduced.
