Abstract :
Dual frequency inverters are used for induction gear hardening. Two inverter topology for dual frequency operation is considered. Design and control aspects related to dual frequency inverters are presented in this paper. Zero voltage switching aspects related to this configuration are explained. Performance of this inverter is presented along with simulation and experimental waveforms.
