description This article presents an analysis and methodology for designing resonant inverters with energy dosing for induction heating applications. These power topologies are characterized by the fact that the power consumption of the DC power source does not depend on the magnitude and changes of the load but is a function of the operating frequency, the value of the resonant capacitor and the DC supply voltage. Based on a description of the electromagnetic processes in the power circuit, analytical dependencies have been determined that describe the behavior of the studied power electronic devices. The expressions for the current of the AC circuit in the various stages of the converter’s operation are obtained, and on this basis an engineering methodology for design and prototyping is presented. The proposed methodology is verified through two specific numerical examples, simulation and experimental studies. In this way, the possibilities of these power electronic devices for self-adaptation to the needs and changes of the load, which is very important in the implementation of induction technologies, are demonstrated. Furthermore, the creation and testing of engineering methodologies for the design of power electronic devices are very useful for improving power electronics education.
