A Simple Two-Stage AC-AC Circuit Topology Employed as High-Frequency Controller for Domestic Induction Heating System

The induction heating process at a domestic level is getting attention nowadays as this power converting topology ensures clean, reliable, flexible, and fast operation. low input frequency converted to required regulated high output with indirect direct approaches. circuit control complexity conversion losses associated approaches lower their uses for systems. ac-ac approach one of the viable solutions medium loads, especially loads. complexity, cost, systems depend on number controlled switching devices each switch requires gate driving isolated dc supply. Simplified pulse width modulation (PWM) also effort. Therefore, in article, simplified introduced high-frequency system. Here, regulation achieved by simply cascading single-phase full-bridge rectifier inverter simple strategy. characteristics developed are validated through simulation results Simulink-based platform practical setup.
