Abstract
ABSTRACT Single switch inverter is a prevalently used topology for domestic induction heating (IH) applications because of its crisp structure, high efficiency and low cost. The inherent issue with this single switch topology is that it has to withstand the whole power of the load and the huge resonating voltage due to the load current during the energy transfer by the capacitor. This process in due course will reduce the performance and also the life of the system. The cumulative stress on the switch due to dynamic variations in AC mains will cause thermal runaway on the switch. Also, this nonlinear operation at the load results in input current distortions. In this work, a simple voltage-limiting control is proposed to reduce the voltage stress of the switch and to maintain a high power factor. The control circuitry and its logic are verified for 500- W IH prototype. The test results reveal that the suggested scheme is simple and efficient in mitigating voltage stress as well.
