This paper presents a novel soft-switching PWM utility frequency AC to high frequency AC power conversion circuit incorporating boost-half-bridge inverter topology, which is more suitable and acceptable for cost effective consumer induction heating applications. The operating principle and the operation modes are presented using the switching mode and the operating voltage and current waveforms. The performances of this high-frequency inverter using the latest IGBTs are illustrated, which includes high frequency power regulation and actual efficiency characteristics based on zero voltage soft switching (ZVS) operation ranges and the power dissipation as compared with those of the previously developed high-frequency inverter. In addition, a dual mode control scheme of this high frequency inverter based on asymmetrical pulse width modulation (PWM) and pulse density modulation (PDM) control scheme is discussed in this paper in order to extend the soft switching operation ranges and to improve the power conversion efficiency at the low power settings. The power converter practical effectiveness is substantially proved based on experimental results from practical design example.

In a conventional DC power supply used for CO2 laser, the circuit elements such as a rectifier bridge, a current-limiting resistor, a high voltage switch, energy storage capacitors ans a high-voltage isolation transformer using high turn ratio are necessary. Consequently, those supplies are expensive and require a large space. Thus, laser resonator and power supply should be optimally designed. In this paper, we propose a new power supply using high frequency resonance phenomena for CW(Continuous wave) CO2 laser (maximum output of 23W with discharge length of 450mm). It consists of a transformer including leakage inductance, magnetizing inductance and half-bridge converter, a three-stage Cockcroft-Walton and PFC(Power factor correction) circuit. The output ripple voltage can be controlled the minimum of 0.24% under the high frequency switching of 231kHz. Furthermore, the output efficiency was improved to 16.4% and the laser output stability of about 5.6% was obtained in this laser system.

Solar energy has its advantages not to be interruped by anything, which is wing to not only limitlessness in its source but shortness in its wave. Availing of tha advantages, we can look forword to vast allication. This study whose aim is to raise the effectuality of it by means of chasing the source correctly, which is to be acheved by the circularty of sensor. The consequence has been gained by two sensors is amplified and transfered to TTL leveland becomes "INPUT DATA" of INTE 8080CPU. The INTEL 8080CPU whose system is machinated to give cotrol pulse to moter driving circuit has the source and the sensors placed correctly on the basis of the data. DC motor taskes the advantage not to be in need of UP/DOWN counter, which is defferent from stepping motor. The system is composed of light detector, A/C converter, INPUT Interface, INTEL 8080 CPU, OUTPUT Interface, notor driving circiut. We can give correct chase to light experimentally as far as an error is the space of 1.2.ce of 1.2.
