Abstract
The object of this research was a self-resonated inverter, based on paralleled Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs), for high-frequency induction heating equipment, operating in a wide range of output powers, applicable for research and industrial purposes. For the nominal installed capacity for these types of invertors to be improved, the presented inverter with a modified circuit comprising IGBT transistors connected in parallel was explored. The suggested topology required several engineering problems to be solved: minimisation of the current mismatch amongst the paralleled transistors; a precise analysis of the dynamic and static transistors’ parameters; determination of the derating and mismatch factors necessary for a reliable design; experimental verification confirming the applicability of the suggested topology in the investigated inverter. This paper presents the design and analysis of IGBT transistors based on datasheet parameters and mathematical apparatus application. The expected current mismatch and the necessary derating factor, based on the expected mismatch in transistor parameters in a production lot, were determined. The suggested design was experimentally tested and investigated using a self-resonant inverter model in a melting crucible induction laboratory furnace.
