Abstract :
A new bi-directional power electronic transformer (PET) for induction heating applications is described. Proposed PET contains primary bi-directional cycloconverter switches, high frequency isolation transformer, matching coil and a parallel resonant heating system. Switching routine is applied in such a way that the output voltage regulation is achieved in the full load variations, even at asymmetrical utility conditions. Simulations are obtained for the proposed PET which consists of 380 V / 3phi/ 50 Hz input voltage and 210 V / 1phi /10 kHz output voltage. The mathematical analysis are presented and verified by simulation results.
