High power megahertz range solid state generator: Experimental tests with dielectric melting furnace

Abstract

The problem of low efficiency in production of mineral thermal insulation by induction melting has been denoted. The cause of such situation was defined low efficiency of induction heating units utilizing vacuum tubes as component base in particular. The solution of this problem has been proposed - use of solid state based induction heating units in manufacturing. The task of proof in experiment of calculated data while designing of such unit by relevant criteria has been established. The key theoretical nuances used during development of such unit are presented. Summary as well as conclusions were mentioned as a result of experimental testing.
