Modeling and Simulation of a Series Resonant Inverter

This paper contain the contribution of the authors concerning the modeling and simulation of a series resonant inverter. This part of this work was used in the design process of a series resonant inverter used for induction heating purposes. The model of the converter is determined by the help of the generalized averaging method using more than one Fourier coefficients. Using this technique the authors obtained a more accurate model of the inverters that contain passive resonant circuits. The simulation results demonstrate this aim and are in good agreement with the theoretical results.
