Abstract-This paper implements a wide range of power control with pulse-density-modulation (PDM) in a voltagesource series-resonant inverter which realizes a corona discharge for surface treatment of film. The use of the pulse density-modulated inverter, or the P D M inverter, enables the employment of a three-phase diode bridge rectifier as a utility interface. The PDM inverter produces either a squar+wave ac voltage state or a zero voltage state at its ac terminals to control the discharge power of a corona surface treater. Moreover, it can achieve zero-current-switching ( Z C S ) and zero-voltageswitching (ZVS) in all the operating conditions, thus leading to a significant reduction of switching losses and electromagnetic noises. A 30 kHa, 6 k W surface treatment system consisting of a voltagesource PDM inverter, a s t e p u p transformer and a corona discharge treater shows the establishment of a stable corona discharge in an extremely wide range of power control from 0.5 70 t o 100 %, and therefore succeeds in performing both strong and weak surface treatment processes for film.
