[0036] In the actual application process, when controlling IGBT1 and IGBT4 to conduct simultaneously and IGBT2 and IGBT3 to turn off simultaneously, the input of the primary side of the high-frequency isolation transformer T1 is a positive voltage, and the output of the secondary side is also a positive voltage, which is a positive voltage after passing through the fast recovery diodes D1 and D4; when controlling IGBT1 and IGBT4 to turn off simultaneously and IGBT2 and IGBT3 to conduct simultaneously, the input of the primary side of the high-frequency isolation transformer T1 is a negative voltage, and the output of the secondary side is also a negative voltage, which is a positive voltage after passing through the fast recovery diodes D2 and D3; when controlling IGBT1, IGBT2, IGBT3, and IGBT4 to turn off simultaneously, the input of the primary side of the high-frequency isolation transformer T1 is 0, and the output of the secondary side is also 0; finally, through the filter inductor L1 and the capacitor C5, the pulsed DC voltage is filtered to form a smooth DC voltage.

[0037] Here, when IGBT5 and IGBT8 are turned on simultaneously and IGBT6 and IGBT7 are turned off simultaneously, the input of the primary side of the high-frequency isolation transformer T2 is a positive voltage, and the output of the secondary side is also a positive voltage. After passing through the fast-recovery diodes D5 and D8, it is a positive voltage. When IGBT5 and IGBT8 are turned off simultaneously and IGBT6 and IGBT7 are turned on simultaneously, the input of the primary side of the high-frequency isolation transformer T2 is a negative voltage, and the output of the secondary side is also a negative voltage. After passing through the fast-recovery diodes D6 and D7, it is a positive voltage. When IGBT5, IGBT6, IGBT7, and IGBT8 are turned off simultaneously, the input of the primary side of the high-frequency isolation transformer T2 is 0, and the output of the secondary side is also 0. Finally, through the filter inductor L2 and the capacitor C5, the pulsed DC voltage is filtered to form a smooth DC voltage.

[0038] Among them, IGBT1 and IGBT5, IGBT2 and IGBT6, IGBT3 and IGBT7, IGBT4 and IGBT8 are controlled synchronously to maintain the voltage balance of the bus support capacitors C1 and C2. Therefore, only 4 groups of drive pulses are required to control 8 IGBTs.
