Abstract

A New IGBT half-bridge inverter topology with active auxiliary resonant circuit (A2RC) is proposed. The A2RC permits the large lossless turn-off snubber capacitor to be successfully used. Therefore, it makes IGBT be used efficiently in high power and high frequency induction heating system. The operation principle and the design procedures of the proposed A2RC are described in detail and the validity is verified by testing on a 55 kHz IGBT half-bridge inverter for induction heating cooking system rated on 1.3 kW.
