  • Publication number: 20110058398
    Abstract: An electrical power conversion system and method for connecting an electrical power source to an electrical grid, the system comprises an input module for generating a high voltage DC power signal from a variable low DC power signal of the electrical power source based on a voltage command. The system further comprises an output module connected to the high voltage DC power signal for generating an AC power signal with a peak voltage based on said voltage command according to a frequency command and a phase command. The system further comprises an electrical grid interface for selectively connecting said AC power signal to the electrical grid and to measure an electrical grid waveform for generating an electrical grid measurement including voltage, phase and frequency.

  • Patent number: 5101086
    Abstract: An induction heating device for heating electrically-conducting material to temperatures of up to at least 300.degree. C. The device comprises an open core of ferrite material. A coil of Litz wire is wound around the core. A power source is connected across the coil to produce an excitation current in the coil, within a frequency range from 12 to 25 kHz, to generate a variable magnetic field when energized. Magnetic flux concentrator tubes of electrically-conductive material are disposed about the coil and close to the core embedded in a thermo-conductive electrically-insulating, material in the intend of maximizing the useful flux. A cooling fluid circulates through the concentrator tubes for cooling the tubes, the core and the coil. An induction zone is defined by said magnetic field generated between the opposed poles of the core and penetrating at the surface of the body to be heated. The body is heated by the eddy currents generated by the variable magnetic field on the surface.
