Today most
of domestic induction heating technology functions on a single-phase power due
to the limited quantities of cooking material being heated. While on other hand
in most of the industrial environments, where the larger cooking material
volumes are processed, heat generation intensifies. Hence three phase power
comes into picture, by which we can achieve the resonant frequency for
achieving the desired heat generation. Resonant-mode power supplies can
minimise switching losses, enabling the operation of resonant converters at
exceptionally high frequencies. The inverter operates at in a frequency range
of 20-30 kHz. Industrial induction heating technology also requires a high
output power levels with the minimum number of components in a compact size. In
this paper, an induction furnace that is employing with half bridge inverter
built around the pair of (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor's) IGBT's as its
switching device. High frequency converter to convert the constant DC to the
high frequency AC by switching the devices (IGBT's) alternately. The simulation
implementation of this topology with the help of MATLAB/ SIMULINK environment.
