Abstract In this paper, we propose an LLC resonant converter that operates over a wide controllable output voltage (50 VDC to 800 VDC) and shows high efficiency characteristics under all load conditions and output voltages. Two 3.3kW prototypes are designed for an experimental comparison between the variable frequency control (control scheme 1) and the variable input voltage(VIN) control (control scheme 2) mechanisms. The experimental results show that the variable input control mechanism demonstrates high efficiency under all loads and output voltages.
