Patent number: 9301346Abstract: A power supply for a high frequency heating is provided. When processes from a non-oscillation to an oscillation of a magnetron are finely classified, the non-oscillation (a start mode), the oscillation (a start mode), and the oscillation (a steady mode) are obtained. A problem resides in an unstable state immediately after the oscillation. When a PWM setting value at this time is set to a value lower than a PWM setting value in the steady mode, even if the PWM setting value during the steady mode is set to a maximum output value, the input current is not controlled to a large current including the over-shoot immediately after the oscillation. After the magnetron shifts to a stable state, the PWM setting value shifts to a PWM setting value of an actual steady mode, so that the over-shoot of the input current can be suppressed as much as possible.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2006Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Hideaki Moriya, Haruo Suenaga, Shinichi Sakai, Nobuo Shirokawa, Manabu Kinoshita
