Abstract
Disclosed is an induction heating system for a motor-driven vehicle (VC), which comprises a polyphase-type AC motor () adapted to drive the vehicle (VC), an electrical storage device () which stores an electric power to be supplied to the AC motor (), a DC-AC converter () adapted to convert a direct current from the electrical storage device () into an alternating current and supply the alternating current to the AC motor (), and an induction heating coil (C or Cto C) adapted to receive a supply of the alternating current from the DC-AC converter (), to inductively heat a target component mounted to the vehicle (VC). The induction heating system of the present invention can efficiently inductively heat the target component without providing an additional converter exclusively for induction heating.
