| Abstract |
This paper compares the newly developed single-phase matrix converter and the more conventional Hbridge
converter for radio frequency induction heating. Both the converters exhibit unity power factor,
very low total harmonic distortion at the utility supply interface, good controllability under soft
switching condition for a wide range of power, and high efficiencies, whilst still having simple
structures. A novel switching control pattern has been proposed for the matrix converter in order to
maintain the comparable performance to the H-bridge converter. Simulation and experimental results
for both converters are presented. Comparisons between two converters have confirmed the excellent
performance of the proposed matrix converter. |
