Abstract : Applications such as Induction Heating, radio frequency power amplifiers requires high frequency currents. Series and Parallel resonant inverters are widely used for Induction these applications. However they suffer from the drawback that they need an isolation transformer whose leakage inductance introduces stress on switches and also they have limitation over operating frequency. This paper presents a novel non isolated inverter with zero current and zero voltage switching which will be a better option for induction heating applications fed from photovoltaic cells or fuel cells. The proposed converters benefits are justified with the help of simulation results presented in the paper.
