A unique analysis and design of ZCS resonant inverters

Abstract

The authors present the analysis and design of current-fed Class-M, and voltage-fed Class-L zero current switching (ZCS) resonant inverters. These inverters are suitable for high voltage applications due to their parallel resonant nature. Operations of the circuits are illustrated by detailed descriptions. A design procedure and an example are presented and verified with experiments. A simple steady-state circuit model is also introduced.
