High voltage is the arch-enemy of high current. (for a given power level). Therefore to decrease current and increase efficiency at a given power level the capacitors must not be fully discharged. There must be residual voltage remaining at both phases. The energy in J [dis]charging a cap
c from
v1 to
v2 is given by
c (
v1^2-
v2^2).
Charging a LC circuit from v1 to v2 requires a maximum current proportional to v1 - v2. But there is more energy transferred at higher voltages, proportional to v^2.
But this won't work.
