Abstract :
This paper describes a converter where both series and parallel resonant circuits are used. In order to minimize losses, switching is made at zero current crossover. The converter described in this paper, has four Mos controlled thyristors in H-bridge configuration. It is used for an induction cooking-range with multi hot zones. The switching frequency is in the band of 20 kHz to 60 kHz i.e. 50 kHz. To optimize the system efficiency, different control strategies are discussed.
