This study presents a soft-switching converter for direct current microgrid applications. The studied converter includes n cells of the hybrid full-bridge converter with primary-series–secondary-parallel connection for high-voltage input and large current output applications. Thus, the voltage stress of power switches and the current stress of rectifier diodes are decreased. Therefore, the low-voltage stress and low conduction resistance of power metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors are utilised in the studied converter to reduce conduction losses on power switches. The flying capacitors are connected between each circuit cell to prevent voltage unbalance on input split capacitors. On each circuit cell, a full-bridge converter with an additional half-bridge circuit is employed to achieve low circulating current losses, less output inductance and a wide range of zero-voltage switching. Finally, the studied converter with 1800 W rated power is constructed and tested to verify the theoretical analysis.
