Abstract: | A new control scheme of Class-E inverter for induction heating jar applications with clamped voltage characteristics using pulse frequency modulation (PFM) is introduced. To reduce the voltage stress of a switch, the proposed PFM control scheme does not need any auxiliary circuit. It can decrease the voltage stress of a switch through the modulation of switching frequency. The Class-E inverter using the proposed control scheme has the advantages of not only the same output power when it is compared with an active clamped class-E (ACCE) inverter, but also zero-voltage-switching, which are characteristics of conventional Class-E and ACCE inverter. The control principles of the proposed method are explained in detail and its validity is verified through experimental results |
