A novel resonant reset asymmetrical dual switch forward converter (DSFC) was proposed to overcome the duty ratio limitation issue existing in DSFC, which is unsuitable for the wide input range application and improving the efficiency. Compared with the traditional DSFC, the converter maintained the advantage of lowering voltage stress on each switch, and possessed the merits with the duty ratio exceed 50% and the conventional pulse width modulation (PWM) operation capability. The soft switching transition for all switches under all conditions was achieved while no modification was made on the original transformer component and the auxiliary circuit was comparatively simple and the cost effective. Therefore, the converter can achieve lower manufacturing costs and has strong capability for high line and wide input range industrial applications. A prototype aiming at the telecom system of 200~400 V input, 48 V/5 A output, whose highest conversion efficiency was 95.3%, was built to verify the validity and applicability of the converter.
