Design and Implementation of a High-Efficiency Multiple-Output Resonant Converter for Induction Heating Applications Featuring Wide Bandgap Devices

Resonant Power Converters: An Overview with Multiple Elements in the Resonant Tank Network

“…Usually the operation is conducted at a frequency above the resonant frequency to achieve ZVS condition. Improvements in this field by the adoption of RPCs are presented in [51]- [53].…”

Impact of Silicon Carbide Devices on the Dynamic Performance of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Drive Systems for Electric Vehicles

“…Wide band-gap power device materials, such as silicon carbide (SiC), are drawing increasing attention due to a number of superior qualities they possess, such as high switching-speed, lower specific on-resistance, and higher junction operating temperature capability [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. The application of SiC in a motor drive inverter can reduce both switching and conduction losses, shorten dead time in a phase-lag, and increase switching frequency, etc.…”

ZVZCS PWM DC-DC Converter with Controlled Secondary Rectifier for ARC Welding

“…Utilizing resonant components, however, introduces additional circulating energy in the converter circuits. This circulating energy increases voltage or current stress of the semiconductor devices and converter passive components often show increased conduction losses [3] - [5]. Moreover, the switching frequency range is often limited so that the converters would not lose the soft switching.…”
