Abstract

In a parallel resonant inverter using gate-turn-off thyristors (GTO’s), the turn-off losses can be reduced by gate-assisted turnoff technique, while turn-on losses contribute significantly to the total switching losses. For optimum operation of the GTO, the total switching losses have to be minimum. On the basis of loss measurement, an optimum mode of operation is suggested.
