The concept of induction heating is slowly entrenching as it has the traits of homogeneous heating, zero pollution and higher power density. To achieve these traits convincingly in reality, there is a need to develop energy efficient converter topologies, which aid in achieving power regulation of soft switching and very high frequency operation. This paper presents the salient features of converter topologies used for domestic and industrial heating applications with a focus on its stage-wise power conversion, power density, load handling capacity, soft switching, reliability and size. The performance of these topologies is analysed in terms of converter switching frequency, power rating, modulation techniques, flicker, user performance and efficiency. Moreover, this review paper predicts the future trends associated with the adaptation of wide band-gap power semiconductor materials, multi-output topologies, variable frequency control scheme with minimum losses and filter design to improve source-side power factor. The detailed technology review will be extremely useful for researchers, designers and engineers in choosing the appropriate topology for the chosen application.

“…Low current switching devices, such as relays or contactors, play an important role in domestic and industrial applications as they have the advantages of low conduction loss and high off-isolation. They are also low-cost, and more thermally and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)-robust compared with solid-state switches [ 1 , 2 ]. With the rapid development of solar power plants and battery storage systems, there has been an increasing demand for traditional controlling/switching devices, which must withstand transiently high overload currents or surge currents [ 3 , 4 ].…”

Material welding failure considerably influences the electrical lifetime and reliability of low current switching devices. However, relevant studies on methods for calculating the threshold welding current and welding area under milli-Newton scale load forces are very limited. In this paper, the welding characteristics of metal material, including the threshold welding current, welding area and welding force are studied by using theoretical calculations and experiments. The comparison between the theoretical calculation and experimental results shows the accuracy of the built model. Further, the effects of mechanical load force and load current on welding force and welding area of representative metal materials are investigated. It is found that the anti-welding ability of metal materials depends not only on the exerted load force and current, but also the electrical resistivity, the thermal conductivity, the tensile strength, and the melting temperature of the materials.

Flexible cooking surfaces have changed the domestic induction heating product paradigm enabling the use of a wider range of cookware materials, shapes, and positions. In order to implement such systems, multiple-output resonant inverters featuring high-performance and high-efficiency operation while achieving a cost-effective implementation are required. This paper proposes a multiple-output zero-voltageswitching resonant inverter for flexible induction heating appliances. The proposed converter features a matrix structure, enabling a cost-effective implementation with a reduced number of power devices while achieving high performance and low switching losses. It has been tested by means of an experimental prototype featuring 48 induction heating coils, proving the feasibility of the proposed approach.
