Loss Minimization in Parallel & Series Induction Heating Inverters Using Genetic Algorithm

In this paper induction heating system is modeled and effective factors on induction heater system losses are represented. Respective to the intensive importance of capacitor losses and its potential ability of being harmful, furnace parameters must be designed in a way to minimize capacitor losses and maximize the transmitted power into the load. The effective parameters are the number of turn...

Class D Series Resonant Inverter with PDM Scheme For Induction Heating Application

Development of a Model for Induction Heating

A series resonant converter for arc-striking applications

Initiation of a plasma conduction state requires a relatively large voltage to ionize the gas. A new version of the series resonant converter is proposed that uses the magnetizing inductance of the transformer for resonance. This converter is not suitable for most power supply applications, but the unique load characteristics associated with plasma loads make this type of converter well suited ...
