A Review on different methods of Designing and controlling Induction Heating Application

Induction heating is a well-known technique to produce very high temperature for applications. A large number of topologies have been developed in this area such as voltage and current source inverter, modulator resonant converter, Power System Using Half-bridge Series Resonant Converter. The series-resonant inverter needs an output transformer for matching the output power to the load but it carry high current as a result additional real power loss is occur and overall efficiency also is reduced. The higher the frequency the more the switching loss, which makes hard efforts to raise the frequency. Modulator resonant converter is using soft switching techniques like Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) and Zero Current Switching (ZCS). Advantages are designing of RF generator and Amplifier for Induction Heating as fast cycle time, accurate heat zones, Consistent and repeatable, efficient and environment friendly. Induction heating can reduce or eliminate the need for skilled operators in application such as brazing and soldering, annealing, medical waste, hardening.
