Modeling of electronic energy converter for induction heating using LabVIEW

Abstract

The aim of this paper to present the modeling of electronic energy converter in the popular development system LabVIEW. Using the various extensions and hardware capabilities it allows an intuitive, easy and comfortable way to examine, study and prototype these kind of devices. For example is reviewed an induction heating energy converter — parallel current source thyristor inverter. In the formalization and analysis of the power circuit are used interconnected parameters with which are described the behavior and operating regimes. The model is verified using the specialized simulation software LT Spice® and data taken from real electrothermic plants for induction heating.
