Multiple-Output High-Frequency Inverter for IH Cooking Appliances

Abstract

In this paper, a multiple-output high-frequency soft switching inverter is presented for home and business-use of IH cooking appliances. The proposed inverter is composed of parallel-connected single-switched multiresonant inverter cells. A detailed analysis indicates that the proposed inverter can control multiple-output power independently through a phase-shifted PWM scheme. The experimental results suggest that the prototype may be applied to multiple-output induction heating appliances.
