Increased Frequency Alternating Current Systems for the Electrothermal Processing of Composite Materials

Abstract

The development of the power electronics industry has allowed the creation of highly efficient compact and powerful transistor voltage converters. Such voltage converters together with rectifiers and high frequency power transformers of increased frequency can be combined into increased frequency electrical power systems (IFEPS). Such IFEPS can be successfully used to realize the heat treatment of various composite materials using increased frequency currents. This publication describes the results of development and application IFEPS to organize a fundamentally new method of heat treatment of composite materials - electrothermal treatment with increased frequency currents. Methods of organizing power supply in enterprises using electrothermal processing are considered.
