Abstract
Multiphase induction heating is a powerful solution for industrial metal heating. An innovative and optimized combination of the supply currents which is presented in this paper, looks for improving the temperature profile. The resonant inverter and inductor losses of this given structure are calculated for each optimized solution and lead to a maximization of the efficiency.
