Design of a two output induction heating inverter for home cooking applications

Abstract

In this study, an alternative induction heating system is developed for home cooking application. Induction heating appliances used for cooking includes more than one heating coil for vessels of different diameter and each coil usually being controlled by a separate inverter system. This method is heavy in terms of component numbers. The main aim of this paper is to control two coil separately at a different frequency and power output by using the same inverter system. This method decreases cost of system eliminates one switching component and its control circuit. Proposed system is designed and a working prototype of low power is verified in laboratory.
