In this paper for full─bridge serial resonant converter, exact general equations for dependencies of phase angle, the maximum voltage of the capacitor and the maximum value of the output current are derived. Mathematical analysis of the this dependence on the resonant circuit dumping frequency when it is excited with pulse voltage with a different frequency than the resonant one is made. This dependences derived in wide a band around the resonant frequency.

Serial resonant bridge converter commonly used in process of induction heating on metal materials. In these applications during the heating process, the converter load equivalent electrical parameters are changed. This contributes to the transferred power from the converter to the induction device to change. In this paper with mathematical analysis are determined the quantities from which depends the active power of the resonant converter. Derived is an equation that gives the dependence of the active power from the phase angle between the voltage and current the converter as and from the duty cycle. This equation can be used in control methods to maintain maximum convertor power transfer.

This paper describes the design and practical implementation of AC/DC/DC converter in mode of arc welding. An analysis of the operation of AC/DC/DC converter and its input/output characteristics are determined with computer simulations. The practical part is con- sisted of AC/DC/DC converter prototype for arc welding with output power of 3 kW and switching frequency of 64 kHz. The operation of AC/DC/DC converter is validated with experimental measurements.

This paper presents performances of two different types of PV cells under various temperature clime of Stip, R. Macedonia.
