Abstract

A resonant inverter includes inductive elements (L1, L2) that allow the number of magnetic components in the inverter to be reduced. The elements (L1, L2) may be designed with a leakage inductance to eliminate the need for a large DC inductor. They may also perform the function of a current splitting transformer. The inverter switches may also be driven directly from the inverter circuit without a separate controller being required.
