Abstract :
In this paper, a comparison is performed between four inverter topologies commonly used in induction cookers. The considered topologies are the full-bridge inverter, the half-bridge inverter, and two single-switch inverters. All of them are designed for the same specifications and they are compared in aspects such as power device stresses, efficiency, frequency control and electromagnetic emissions
