Abstract
Induction heating (IH) has become the technology of choice in many industrial, domestic, and medical applications due to its high efficiency and performance. This paper proposes an interleaved resonant boost inverter featuring SiC three-phase module to achieve high efficiency and performance IH power supply. The proposed converter achieves high efficiency by reducing the current through the devices, while the use of an interleaved full-bridge configuration reduces input current ripple and provides additional control degrees. The proposed converter has been designed, implemented, and tested experimentally, proving the feasibility of this proposal.Keywords
