Abstract

The forced commutated, half-bridge, series resonant power converter is well suited for induction cooking. A detailed analysis is made of the operation of this power converter to obtain the information needed for a complete design procedure. The values of the reactive components and the voltage and current requirements for all the power components can be calculated with this procedure for a given cooking vessel (experimental measurement of parameters needed), grid voltage and maximum output power. Experimental results are presented
