Abstract

Induction heating is extensively used in metallurgical industries for heating and fusion of metals. With the advances in power semiconductor devices, high frequency static converters, and digital electronics, induction heating equipment is becoming popular in industry. In this paper, the design and control of medium frequency coreless induction furnace is presented. The basic design considerations are given. The current- and voltage-fed medium frequency thyristor inverter circuits are discussed. The strategies of inverter frequency control to match the varying load impedance are presented. The coil design, the inverter design, the control system design and the cooling system design are given.
