Analysis and design of a high-frequency high-power series resonant inverter using asymmetrical thyristors

The description, analysis, and design of a high-frequency series resonant inverter are presented. A detailed analysis is given that includes the effect of di/dt inductor and snubber components. Steady-state characteristics of the inverter are presented, and equivalent circuits and expressions to determine switching transients are derived. A design example of a 150-kW, 50-kHz inverter is presented to illustrate the design of a high-frequency series resonant inverter. Finally, the experimental verification of theoretical results is provided.<
