In this paper, a new active snubber cell is proposed to contrive a new quadratic Boost pulse width modulated (PWM) converter. This snubber cell provides zero voltage transition (ZVT) for the main switch of a converter. A New ZVT-PWM Quadratic Boost converter equipped with the proposed snubber cell provides most the desirable features of ZVT converters presented previously, and overcomes most the drawbacks of these converters providing a large voltage step-up. Subsequently, the new converter can operate with soft switching successfully at very wide line and load ranges and at considerably high frequencies. Moreover, the main devices do not have any additional voltage and current stresses. In this study, a detailed analysis of the new converter is presented, and this theoretical analysis is verified exactly by simulation and a prototype converter.
