Abstract

This paper deals with digital simulation of Class D and Class E inverter fed induction heater system. This system has an advantage like reduced volume and switching losses. The circuit operates under zero voltage switching. The circuit models of Class D and Class E are developed and they are used for simulation studies. The simulation results are compared and results are presented.

Keywords
