How thyristor used in induction furnace?

In: Electronics Engineering, Furnaces [Edit categories]

Answer:

Thyristor is used for Rectifiying and inverting the power supply in induction furnace.

The parallel Resonance Coils (Current Control Furnaces) Control the Furance power up to 40% by controlling the firing angle of the rectifier inverter and remaining 60% controlled by inverter thyristor control.

In rectifier they are varying the thyristor firing angle from 15 deg to 45 deg. (in sin wave)
