Abstract
An improved soft switched AC power distribution system for minimizing electromagnetic interference and AC losses in an AC power distribution system. The improved AC power distribution system comprises a flyback transformer comprising a primary winding and at least one intermediate secondary winding. A synchronization control circuit is connectable to the primary winding while at least one load transformer is connectable to the at least one intermediate secondary winding. The at least one load transformer connectable to the at least one intermediate secondary winding is connectable via an EMI shielded connection with controllable voltage and current rise times.
