Reduction of Harmonics Contained in the Input Power Supply Dynamic Tool for Current Source Full-Bridge Inverter Based Induction Heater

This paper highlights an approach to drastically minimize the injection of unwanted harmonics to the input power supply incorporating an LC low-pass filter (LPF) which is fitted in between the high frequency current source full bridge inverter used in induction heater and input power supply. This LPF protects the other consumers those are connected on the same power line from the spurious signals. Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) has been used to perceive between the fundamental and the unwanted harmonics. It is a better analytic tool for diagonising all spurious signals in the frequency domain. From the result of PSIM simulation, it has been established that the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) get reduced drastically from 49.63% to below 4.768% by incorporating the LPF.
