Study of Power Loss Reduction in SEPR Converters for Induction Heating through Implementation of SiC Based Semiconductor Switches

This paper presents a power loss analysis for a Single Ended Parallel Resonance (SEPR) Converter used for induction heating. The analysis includes a comparison of the losses in the electronic switch when the circuit is realized using a conventional Silicon (Si) based IGBT or when using Silicon...
