JEE_V2_N4_RP4 D. Kirubakaran S. Rama Reddy Journal on Electrical Engineering 2230 – 7176 2 4 27 32 Electronics, parallel resonant converter, induction heating, closed loop control, embedded control An embedded controlled single-switch parallel resonant converter is introduced for induction heating applications. The circuit comprises of an input LC-filter, a bridge rectifier and a controlled power switch. The switch operates in the soft commutation mode and serves as a high frequency generator. This scheme overcomes the shortcomings of the previous schemes i.e. the presence of the DC component in the load current. The steady-state analysis of the converter is given. The theoretical analysis and computer simulation satisfy the experimental results. April - June 2009 Copyright © 2009 i-manager publications.
