Abstract:
The dynamics of a DC-AC self-oscillating LC resonant inverter with a zero current switching strategy is considered in this paper. A model that includes both the series and the parallel topologies and accounts for parasitic resistances in the energy storage components is used. It is found that only two reduced parameters are needed to unfold the bifurcation set of this extended system: one is related to the quality factor of the LC resonant tank, and the other accounts for the balance between serial and parallel losses. Through a rigorous mathematical study, a complete description of the bifurcation set is obtained and the parameter regions where the inverter can work properly is emphasized.
