Current in caps

Phase 2 in which one capacitor discharges into another through L has a higher max current than phase 1 due to a smaller effective capacitance. 2 Equal capacitors in series=half.

THE TRANSFORMERLESS RESONANT ISOLATOR

What is it and what how is it done.
It is a resonant converter with the purpose of achieving galvanic isolation without the use of a transformer. As long as the switch pairs are never closed concurrently galvanic isolation is achieved. High-efficiency magic.
