Abstract :
This article showed a DC-AC converter series resonant (CSR) operating high frequency, using IGBTs and soft-switching technique (Zero Voltage Switching - ZVS). This full-bridge converter composed of four identical parallel modules operating at 100 kHz to get 400 kHz as a final frequency in the output. Operating principles, experimental analyses are described, which enables the experimental assembly of the series resonant converter in the plant.
