Abstract
Induction heating can convert electrical energy to thermal energy with high conversion efficiency and quick heating. Currently, a current source rectifier/inverter-fed parallel resonant circuit is widely used as an induction heating power supply for forging applications. However, the conventional induction heating power supplies composed of phase-controlled rectifier and SCR inverter have low efficiency and low power factor at input side, and require additional starting circuitry. So this paper proposes new induction heating power supply topologies for forging applications which have high power factor, high efficiency, and large output power. It also suggests detailed design guideline.
