Abstract
This paper presents a universal tuning system for harmonic operation of series-resonant inverters (SRI), based on a self-oscillating switching method. In the new tuning system, SRI can instantly operate in one of the switching frequency harmonics, e.g., the first, third, or fifth harmonic. Moreover, the new system can utilize pulse density modulation (PDM), phase shift (PS), and power–frequency control methods for each harmonic. Simultaneous combination of PDM and PS control method is also proposed for smoother power regulation. In addition, this paper investigates performance of selected harmonic operation based on phase-locked loop (PLL) circuits. In comparison with the fundamental harmonic operation, PLL circuits suffer from stability problem for the other harmonic operations. The proposed method has been verified using laboratory prototypes with resonant frequencies of 20 up to 75 kHz and output power of about 200 W.
