 1. ABSTRACT

A Zeta converter is a type of dc-to-dc converter used to obtain a regulated dc power supply from an unregulated
dc power supply. Similar to buck-boost, Cuk, and SEPIC converters zeta converters also have the ability to
either step up or step down the input dc supply depending upon the duty cycle.

Similar to other dc-to-dc converters, a zeta converter achieves a regulated output by exchanging energy between
the capacitors and inductors. The amount of energy exchanged is controlled by a switch by changing its duty
cycle. Let us see the circuit design and operation of a zeta converter.

[5]
 2. INTRODUCTION

Zeta converter system is a highly useful system that can handle both the variation of DC output voltage.It
basically regulates the output DC voltage according to the needs and requirements of the equipment.Zeta
converter has the characteristic of Buck-boost system which simply means that it can work on both step-up
and step-down conditions.

Zeta converter is a highly efficient system that has a high efficiency of above 90%.We use Solar panels as the
input source of AC supply as the use of renewable resources is promoted a lot these days. Similar to the
SEPIC DC/DC converter topology, the ZETA converter topology provides a positive output voltage from an
input voltage that varies above and below the output voltage. The ZETA converter also needs two inductors
and a series capacitor, sometimes called a flying capacitor. Unlike the SEPIC converter, which is configured
with a standard boost converter, the ZETA converter is configured from a buck controller that drives a high-
side PMOS FET. The ZETA converter is another option for regulating an unregulated input-power supply,
like a low-cost wall wart. To minimize board space, a coupled inductor can be used. This article explains how
to design a ZETA converter running in continuous-conduction mode (CCM) with a coupled inductor.

 3. Circuit Diagram of Zeta Converter

The below figure shows the schematic diagram of a zeta converter. It consists of two inductors, a capacitor, and
a diode. The circuit of the zeta converter is almost similar to a single-ended primary-inductor converter (SEPIC)
except in the place of the diode in SEPIC, there is an inductor in the zeta converter, and in the place of the
second inductor in SEPIC, there is a diode in zeta converter.

Figure 1 CIRCUIT DIAGRAM OF ZETA CONVERTER

The capacitor C1 acts as the bridge between the input and output sides of the converter. It also isolates input and
output sides from each other. Generally, a transistor (MOSFET or IGBT or BJT) is used as the switch in dc-to-
dc converters, due to low power loss, higher input impedance, and simple driver circuitry MOSFETs are mostly
used.

The MOSFET switching is controlled by PWM pulses applied at the gate terminal and feedback taken from the
output so that the desired regulated output will be obtained.

 4. CONSTRUCTION

Figure 2 CONSTRUCTION OF ZETA CONVERTER

• As shown in figure , Zeta converter consists of a Switch(S1) , diode (D1), two inductors(L1) and (L2) ,

two capacitors(C1) and C2.

• Two modes can be operated in Zeta converter , ON and OFF .

• It is considered to be ON when S1 is turned ON and D1 is OFF.

• It is considered to be OFF when S1 is OFF and D1 is ON.

[8]
 5. WORKING

ON STATE –

Figure 3 ON STATE ZETA CONVERTER

• In ON state , the switch is turned ON and the D1 is turned OFF(open circuited).

• In this condition both the inductors L1 and L2 are in charging condition.

• L1 gets charged from the input voltage source, while L2 gets charged from the capacitor C2.

• The current in both the inductors increases linearly.

[9]
 OFF STATE –

Figure 4 OFF STATE ZETA CONVERTER

• In this mode , the switch is turned OFF , and the diode is turned ON.

• Both the inductors L1 and L2 are discharging through capacitor C1 and the connected load.

• The current in the two inductors are decreasing as they gets discharged.

 6. ADVANTAGES OF ZETA CONVERTER

 The feedback loop of the zeta converter is stable which provides an accurate output voltage even

under a wide range of voltages.

 It provides better efficiency and better voltage gain than the regular buck-boost converter.

 It is a buck-boost type converter, which means we can step up and step down the voltage.

 Low output ripple compared to a SEPIC converter.

 The polarity of output voltage remains unchanged unlike buck-boost and Cuk converters.

 Continuous output current.

 We do not get inverted voltage.

 ZETA converter promotes the use of renewable resources like the sunlight.

[11]
 7. DISADVANTAGES OF ZETA CONVERTER

 Requirement of large capacitor since all the power needs to be transferred through it.

 The input current is discontinuous, which is not desired for some applications.

[12]
 8. CONCLUSION

The major objective of this is to show how ZETA converter is so powerful system and find its use in the
FUTURE TECHNOLOGY Like in the recharging of automotive batteries. It usefully converts solar energy to
electrical Energy.

Zeta converter system is so powerful and highly efficient that if every person using more renewable sources of
energy with the smart use of this system then we can surely minimise the shortage of electricity in the future
that is so evident now-a-days.
