A lightweight and high efficiency battery charger for electric vehicles by Yue, Xi Tong

“…This auxiliary circuit reactive current is achieved so that zero-voltage switching is guaranteed. Besides, voltage spikes across the output diode bridge of FB converter are eliminated by using two clamp diodes in the circuit, which leads to lower power loss and lower rating of the diodes and output filter capacitor. …”
