POWER ELECTRONICS
Power electronics is the
applications of solid-state
electronics for the control
and conversion of electric
power. Power electronics
combine power, electronics,
and control. Power
electronics are based
primarily on the switching of
power semiconductor
devices.
APPLICATIONS OF POWER
ELECTRONICS
Switch mode power supplies (SMPS)
Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems
Photo-voltaic and fuel-cell power conversion systems
Rectifier supplies for electrochemical processes
Heating and lighting, including high frequency illumination
control
Induction heating
DC and AC servo drives
High efficiency industrial/commercial drives
Electric vehicle applications
Electric traction
Flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS)
INDUCTION HEATING
Induction heating is a
process which is used to bond,
harden or soften metals or
other conductive materials. For
many modern manufacturing
processes, induction heating
offers an attractive
combination of speed,
consistency and control. The
material to be heated is known
as work piece and the coil
wound around it is known as
work coil.
INDUCTION HEATING PRINCIPLE
Filter Inductive
capacitor coil+load
CURRENT SOURCE PARALLEL RESONANT
INVERTER –Here the output current source parallel
resonant inverter, the output current is nearly sinusoidal
at the switching freq slightly above the resonance
INDUCTIVE
COIL+LOAD
APPLICATIONS OF INDUCTION HEATING
INDUCTION COOKING:
The circulating currents in
the metal pan on the top
of the induction coil
directly heats the pan.
ANNEALING:
process is used to soften metal
for improved ductility and
machinability, as well as to
relieve residual stress. In
contrast to hardening, annealing
involves a much slower heating
step followed by gradual cooling
of the metal
BRAZING: is the process of joining
two or more pieces of metal or
ceramic material with a molten filler
metal such as silver, aluminum alloy
or copper. Brazing requires a higher
temperature than soldering but
produces a very strong bond which
withstands shock, vibration and
temperature change.
