Abstract:
In this work, a versatile industrial induction heating converter will be analyzed. Firstly, the output inductive load will be electrically characterized. This element is part of the series resonant circuit. In this work, the possibility of using several combinations of resonant capacitors will be analyzed, and power-frequency ranges will be mapped. Then, according to these maps, different inverter configurations are compared.
