High efficiency power source for HF electric process heating applications

ABSTRACT The paper is concerned with the application of a class E converter to electric process heating. A simple efficient converter is described which is suitable for high frequency electric process heating loads.

Class E switching-mode power amplifier for high-frequency electric process heating applications

The letter is concerned with the application of a class E convertor to electric process heating. A simple efficient convertor is described which is suitable for high-frequency electric process heating loads.

Effects of Cold Load Pickup at the Distribution Substation Transformer

The cold load pickup characteristics of electric space heating loads and its effect on the distribution substation transformer and its protective equipment is presented. A computer simulation Qf cold load pickup characteristics as seen at the substation level is used to determine the impact of saturation of electric space heat load on the various thermal and loading limitations of transformers.

The logical approach to the problems of space warming by electricity

The present shortage of generating plant is a great handicap in the struggle towards a better standard of living, and the electric heating load is one of the major causes. The paper discusses means by which the persistent public demand for electric heat can be met without excessive load on generating plant or heavy coal consumption. Domestic space warming by electricity is recommended as a subject for large-scale research, which may indicate that it is the best way of conserving national resources of plant and coal as well as a remedy for the evil of atmospheric pollution.
