ABSTRACT=Due to the increasing number of DC loads in EVs, DC-DC converters are widely used in EV applications. Hence, a DC distribution system with DC-DC converters is more efficient. A three-phase interleaved step-up DC-DC converter has been proposed for use in electric vehicles. Other uses for the proposed ISC converter include aircraft, satellites, industrial, and traction drives. The proposed converter is subjected to a thorough frequency response study, which is explained in detail. The design technique recommends the proper quantity of switches to be used in the system. The reduction in the number of switches results in a 94% increase in the efficiency of this converter. Design models were checked using MATLAB/Simulink, which was interfaced with the Real-Time simulator OPAL RT (OP5700) to ensure that they were appropriate. The results have been presented in detail.
