Abstract
This paper presents a novel multiple-frequency resonant inverter for induction heating (IH) applications. By adopting a center tap transformer, the proposed resonant inverter can give load switching frequency as twice as the isolated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) switching frequency. The structure and the operation of the proposed topology are described in order to demonstrate how the output frequency of the proposed resonant inverter is as twice as the switching frequency of IGBTs. In addition to this, the IGBTs in the proposed topology work in zero-voltage switching during turn-on phase of the switches. The new topology is verified by the experimental results using a prototype for IH applications. Moreover, increased efficiency of the proposed inverter is verified by comparison with conventional designs.Keywords
