inverterseries

An interactive educational tool designed to explore the Half-Bridge (2-Thyristor) Series Inverter.

This tool explores the Half-Bridge Series Inverter topology, commonly used in induction heating and low-power applications. It features a synchronized plotting system that allows users to trace Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) across the series components in real-time.

Key Technical Highlight: Special attention is given to the Capacitor Voltage ($v_C$) and Inductor Voltage ($v_L$) waveforms. The simulation accurately depicts how the capacitor holds its charge during the quiescent (dead time) period, which is a critical concept for understanding resonant tank energy balance.

Instructions for Users:

1. Ensure the circuit is Under-damped ($R^2 < 4L/C$) to allow for natural commutation.
2. Observe the "staircase" charging effect on the Capacitor Voltage plot.
3. Compare the peak load current with the Full-Bridge version to understand the $V_s/2$ voltage scaling inherent in this topology.
