@copilot L1 is the primary side of transformer. I am not intrested in othe prats of SMPS circuit at his moment. I am only instrested in switching part.
Bas on our conversation about 600W smps you told me that a half bridge with subber circuit wold be sudabe for this aplicatio. So after you explaind wot to make circuit i made it. Is it what you described a halfbridge circuit with snubber

Based on your description and the project overview, I assume you have built a basic Low-Frequency half-bridge converter topology with a snubber circuit. However, certain crucial details seem missing for a clear confirmation.
Typically, a half-bridge SMPS switching circuit consists of two transistors (usually MOSFETs or IGBTs), a capacitor divider (two capacitors in series), and a load (a transformer in your case). From the provided list:
  • Q1 and Q2 would be your transistors (switching elements).
  • C1 and C3 can form the capacitor divider.
  • L1 is your transformer primary side.
The snubber circuit would usually consist of a resistor and a capacitor in series across one of the transistors, but I see only one resistor (R1) and no dedicated capacitor for the snubber in the project description. This part is critical for controlling voltage spikes and protecting your transistor switches when they are off.
Given the project components, here's a simple outline for connections in a typical half-bridge schema:
  • Q1 and Q2 (MOSFETs) form the half-bridge. Q1's SOURCE connects to Q2's DRAIN and this node connects to the GND.
  • The midpoint of the capacitor divider (C1 and C3) connects to the node between Q1's SOURCE and Q2's DRAIN.
  • The transformer primary (L1) connects between Q1's DRAIN and Q2's SOURCE and the midpoint of the capacitor divider.
Please include a snubber circuit in your design to ensure proper function and safety. Also, if you meant to use one of the capacitors (C1, C2, or C3) or the resistor (R1) as part of a snubber circuit, please clarify. '-.
Could you provide more detail on how you have set up your circuit? Particularly, the connections of your capacitors and the resistors. Also, have you included the driver circuit for driving the MOSFET gates (Q1 and Q2)?
This information will help us resolve any question about your current setup and establish it as a good half-bridge converter with a snubber circuit. Depending on the switching frequency, power level, and application, the designs may vary significantly, and it's vital to consider these parameters for best performance.

wtf c1 is the snubber capacitor adn c2 and c3 are capaciotr voltage devider
2y
Got it - thanks for that information, and I apologize for the confusion. Let's revise the understanding of your circuit using this new information.
Your project configurations seems to be:
  • Q1 and Q2 as the two transistors (switching elements) for the half bridge.
  • Capacitors C2 and C3 are the voltage dividing capacitors.
  • C1 in conjunction with R1 is forming the snubber circuit.
  • L1 is your transformer primary.
With this configuration, here's an outline of how the elements should be connected for typical half-bridge topology with snubber:
  • Q1's DRAIN is connected to one point of the existing net that includes PowerNet1 and C2, creating the high side switch of the half-bridge.
  • Q2's DRAIN is connected to ground, being the low side switch of the half-bridge.
  • Both transistors' SOURCES are linked together forming the midpoint of the bridge, connected to the common point of the C2 and C3 capacitors.
  • The snubber circuit (C1 and R1) is connected from Q1's DRAIN (the switching node) to ground. Specifically, the P1 pin of C1 should be connected to Q1's DRAIN, and the P2 pin of C1 should be connected to one terminal of R1, with R1's other terminal going to ground.
  • The primary winding of the transformer (L1) is connected between the midpoint of the half-bridge (common point of Q1's SOURCE and Q2'S DRAIN) and the midpoint of the capacitors C2 and C3.
Please remember to drive MOSFET gates (pins GATE of Q1 and Q2) with suitable drive signals, preferably from a PWM controller or similar component not mentioned in the project components.
Does this setup correlate correctly with your existing design?
