... design trends and perspectives. Design/methodology/approach The benefits of WBG semiconductors are reviewed with a special emphasis on induction heating applications. Findings WBG devices enable the design of higher-performance induction heating power supplies. A significant selection...

...Alejandro Naval; Hector Sarnago; Ignacio Lope; Oscar Lucia; José M. Burdio Purpose Litz wire manufacturing using mechanical procedures presents several limitations regarding reliability and repeatability, especially when a small strand diameter is used. This paper aims to propose a power supply...

.... Research limitations/implications – The proposed method is applicable for simulation purposes. The only limitation is that MatLab model does not include hysteresis curve of the core, therefore it has to be modeled. Practical implications – The design of power supplies (switched mode power supplies...
