This paper proposes an AC/DC converter with a
load-current sharing feature. The studied converter is suitable for
server power supplies demanding high output currents and
flexible modulization. An EMI filter for suppressing the
conducted noise resulting from the developed power supply is
included at the front end, which is followed by a
zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) active power factor corrector (PFC)
and a ZVS phase-shift full-bridge DC/DC converter. The ZVS
technique successfully reduces the switching losses and thus
increases the overall efficiency. The main control system consists
of several protection circuits and an automatic master-slave
current-sharing controller. The operating principles for the ZVS
PFC, the phase-shift full-bridge converter, and the master-slave
current-sharing control are discussed. Two 1-kW prototype
circuits of server power supplies are implemented and parallel
operation is tested. The output voltage is 24 V, the output current
is 40 A, and the overall efficiency is about 82% at 110V AC mains
voltage. The error percentage of the current-sharing is less than ±3
% of the rated output current.
