  • Abstract
    The conception and design of a 12 kW/250 kHz series resonant power converter for induction heating applications are described. The developed generator works above resonance in a continuous conduction mode in order to avoid the problem associated with the reverse recovery current of the MOSFETS antiparallel diodes. Both short-circuit protection of the inverter and the real output resonant circuit are described
