Abstract

In this paper, a novel type of auxiliary switched capacitor assisted edge resonant soft switching PWM series load resonant high frequency inverter with two auxiliary edge resonant lossless inductor snubbers is proposed for small consumer induction heating appliances. The operation principle of this high frequency inverter is described using the switching mode equivalent circuits. The practical effectiveness of the newly proposed soft switching inverter are discussed as compared with the conventional soft switching high frequency inverters based on simulation and experimental results from an application point of view.
