Abstract
A resonant inverter circuit is provided which can be made lighter in weight and smaller in capacity. With a main circuit in steady mode, IGBT of an auxiliary circuit are controlled and the energy of an electric current is stored in a resonant inductance. Next, snubber capacitors are charged and discharged by means of an electric current. At this time, the voltages across both terminals of IGBT corresponding with the snubber capacitors being charged becomes zero, and ZVS is achieved. Furthermore, when the snubber capacitors being discharged have been completely discharged, and free wheeling diodes and IGBT corresponding with these snubber capacitors conduct, both the voltages across both terminals of the IGBT and the electric current become zero and ZVS and ZCS are achieved.
