Notes: 1. WARNING, entire circuit INCLUDING CONTROLS are at line potentials. Insulated controls and potentiometers MUST be used. 2. This circuit is conceptual only and has not been tested. User assumed all risks. Circuit should be powered with low voltage/low power until operational characteristics are determined. 3. Cx will increase current into resonator, however makes circuit tune critical and possibly more susceptible to kickback. 4. IR2153D maximum input rating is 600VDC. DO NOT exceed 500VDC power supply input to chip / IGBT's (allows headroom for kickback, EMI/RFI). 5. Lp and Cx must be chosen to limit surge impedance of tank. This can be calculated via equations: (1) (1) I = 2*pi()*P / Vpk I = tank current P = Desired input power (watts) Vpk = DC bus voltage (or AC nominal rms * sqrt(2) ) C = tank capacitance (F) I = tank current f = Desired resonant frequency (hz) Vpk = DC bus voltage (or AC nominal rms * sqrt(2) ) L = tank inductance (H) C = tank capacitance (F) f = Desired resonant frequency (hz) Zo = Tank surge impedance (ohms) L = tank inductance (H) C = tank capacitance (F) (2) (3) (2) C = I / ( 2 * pi() * f * Vpk ) (4)
