Abstract

In this paper, a soft switching PWM(pulse width modulation) inverter for heating up to high temperature ferromagnetic metals is proposed as a power supply to apply to the diesel emission control system. And an optimal circuit design and an operating method about this inverter to solve several problems caused by heating up to high temperature it are described in detail. The validity of the proposed method is verified through both the simulated results and the experimental results.
