Induction Heating System (2014)
Induction Heating (IH) is a method by which the temperature of a ferromagnetic workpiece located at the center of a coil can be increased without any physical connection. This workpiece together with the coil and the capacitors form a resonant tank. A H-Bridge based converter drives the resonant tank at the resonance frequency, heating up the workpiece as the result of the induced eddy current.
My friend (Majid Farhangi) and I worked on this project. One of our purposes in this project was validating the simulation result we got by LtSpice. In order to get a desired result, a microcontroller had to generate proper driving signals for Mosfets’ gates at the correct frequency and appropriate dead-times. To create such signals in our simulation model, we had to write a C++ code to create a new component in Proteus.
