Evaluation of half-bridge resonant inverter topologies
Abstract
Resonant power inverters are
widely used in today’s power electronic industry due to their high
efficiencies. These high efficiencies are the result of operating the inverters
in either zero current switching (ZCS) or zero voltage switching (ZVS) modes.
Although there are many topologies available, the majority of them are mainly
derived from two basic structures called “the
voltage source series resonant” and “the
current source parallel resonant” type inverters. Both inverter topologies
incorporate full bridge and half-bridge circuit variations. In this paper, the
half-bridge type of series and parallel resonant inverters are investigated. A comparison between the two types - with respect to practical applications - is also
presented. Analytically derived results are compared against experimental
measurements for two prototypes. Specifically, an 80 kVA half-bridge series
resonant and a 3kVA half-bridge parallel resonant type induction heating
supplies are being compared. At the end of the study, a detailed comparison
table was introduced to the literature
