| Abstract [eng] |
This study presents the implementation of an IGBT-based high-voltage H-bridge for induction heating. The design and hardware implementation of the H-bridge is discussed, focusing on electrical and thermal design aspects. We also review power converter design methods, focusing on IGBT gate drives—moreover, the reasons for choosing second-hand parts over new ones. The proposed H-bridge system can deliver high power and provides an efficient and economical method of delivering high frequency and power to the load. The experimental results demonstrate the system's effectiveness in induction heating applications. The main objective of this research is to develop a high-performance and reliable H-bridge system for induction heating applications. We focus on the design and implementation of the IGBT, the gate driver, and the overall control strategy of the H-bridge system. We also discuss the challenges and considerations of hardware implementation, such as thermal management, electromagnetic interference (EMI) mitigation, and protection mechanisms for the IGBTs and other components. The study also focuses on the obstacles that arise when using old components. To evaluate the implemented H-bridge system, we conducted a test on a basic inverter configuration. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the IGBT-based H-bridge in providing simple and accurate power controls for variable frequency loads, such as in induction heating applications. In summary, this investigation comprehensively studies the design and hardware implementation of an IGBT-based highvoltage H-bridge for induction heating applications. The developed system provides simple, precise and costeffective power control, making it suitable for various industrial applications, such as metal heat treatment and material processing. |
