Abstract

The voltage source series inverter with a transformer-coupled induction heating load suffers from either latching or commutation failure when starting under certain load conditions. The load conditions that cause starting failure are determined. The commutating and latching current capabilities of the inverter are obtained by a transient analysis of the invertor for the first half cycle. The requirements for successful operation of the inverter are discussed, and the regions for successful and unsuccessful commutation and latching of the inverter are given
