	%X In this paper, half bridge DC-DC converters with
transformer isolation presented in the literature are analyzed for highcurrent
and low-voltage applications under the same operation
conditions, and compared in terms of losses and efficiency. The
conventional and improved half-bridge DC-DC converters are
simulated, and current and voltage waveforms are obtained for input
voltage Vdc=500V, output current IO=450A, output voltage VO=38V
and switching frequency fS=20kHz. IGBTs are used as power
semiconductor switches. The power losses of the semiconductor
devices are calculated from current and voltage waveforms. From
simulation results, it is seen that the capacitor switched half bridge
converter has the best efficiency value, and can be preferred at high
power and high frequency applications.
