Abstract

A full bridge switching power supply is coupled to an ozonator load via a series resonant circuit having a resonant frequency above the switching frequency. Power output is controlled by varying the duration of the times when diagonal switches are conducting, and the output voltage has a longer rise time than fall time due to there being intervals between the conduction periods of diagonal switches during which one of the switches is turned on to permit resonant current flow. The driving voltages for attaining this action are symmetrical rectangular waves of identical shape having different phases that are derived from out of phase pulses where width is varied by the timing of their trailing edges.
