Abstract |
We developed a resonant very high-frequency inverter for industrial heating and micro-soldering applications, by using a FULL-BRIDGE final configuration. Converter structure and control circuits were selected in order to maximize efficiency and reduce dimensions. The control scheme allowed proper final-stage operation under every load conditions and efficient power regulation. Design criteria have been selected with emphasis for component choice and layout precautions to optimize high power/high frequency performances. Experimental measurements of the main electrical parameters and waveforms have been compared with a theorical model, and an overall estimate of the system performances have been performed. |
