            Abstract : 
This paper proposes an improved half-bridge inverter with wide-input-voltage capability for ozone-driven circuits. The study is motivated because the limited regulation of input voltage often affects the operation flexibility of ozone-driven circuits. Therefore, a modification of a half-bridge inverter along with a multiwinding coil design is proposed in this study, anticipating an increase in the range of input voltage and benefiting the industry applications. To confirm the practicality of this method, a hardware circuit was made with extensive validation. Experimental outcomes support the feasibility of this proposed method for ozone generators, exhibiting a potential of the method extending to other voltage-source applications.
