Series resonance inverters

Abstract

A high frequency power converter system suitable to replace a typical power distribution
transformer is discussed. The new power converter systems contain a number of high power DC-
DC converters as main components.

Series resonant inverters are the common structures in high power industrial generators
for induction heating and many other applications. In practical working conditions, short-circuit
of the heating coil is very common, normally producing overvoltages that can damage the power
transistors of the inverter if no special precautions are taken. The aim of the paper is to show the
mechanism of how overvoltages are generated under short-circuit conditions of the heating coil
for series resonance inverters

This project presents the DC-DC converter with resonant commutation. The described
converter employs a low profile high frequency transformer, a LCL resonant tank and two full
bridge converters.
