TL;DR: In this paper, a 50 kW/50 kHz IGBT series resonant inverter with ZVS behavior is presented to prevent transistors failure in the case of a short-circuit of the heating inductor.
Abstract: Basically the are two different types of converters for high power induction heating applications. On one side, current-fed inverters are normally used for applications with low ohmic inductor like hardening and tube welding. On the other hand voltage-fed inverters, in which the heating inductor is series compensated are preferred in applications with high ohmic inductor like melting or forging. In this paper a 50 kW/50 kHz IGBT series resonant inverter with ZVS behaviour is presented. Explanations are also given to prevent transistors failure in the case of a short-circuit of the heating inductor.

Abstract: The utility model relates to an integrated intelligent forging furnace, and mainly solves the problem that prior intermediate frequency induction forging furnaces cannot control the heating temperature automatically. The integrated intelligent forging furnace is characterized in that a temperature controller (4) and a control console (5) are arranged on a heating furnace body (2) and connected through a signal line (6). The integrated intelligent forging furnace can control the temperature in the heating furnace body automatically, and has the advantages of being convenient to use and saving electric energy.
TL;DR: In this article, an application of photovoltaic array and high frequency induction heating base on Class D LLC resonant inverter for induction forging was presented, where the inverter is used for adapting DC to high frequency AC by receiving 24 V of input voltage from battery which connected to PV array.
Abstract: The research present an application of photovoltaic array and high frequency induction heating base on Class D LLC resonant inverter for induction forging. The inverter is used for adapting DC to high frequency AC by receiving 24 V of input voltage from battery which connected to photovoltaic array. Class D resonant inverter works under a condition of zero voltage switching (ZVS) at 100 kHz. An experimental was tested by heating 3 sizes of work pieces (2.4 mm, 3 mm, and 4 mm) and efficiency was 92.66 %. An energies which was used each time, were 0.000909 kWh, 0.001548 kWh, and 0.001355 kWh respectively.
