Hi everyone,
I post this thread because I would like to make a little induction heater. I recovered an old pc power supply, I disassembled it and I would like like to reuse some of its component to build an induction heater.
I have already begun tp make some researches on the induction furnace working principle but I have some difficult to understand how a Royer oscillator is working and how its frequency is defined. Also, I would like to know if a such circuit can be powered directly on the 230 volt rectified.
Actually, my idea was to make an high frequency 230 volts signal and then reduce its voltage and increase its amperage through a step down transformer, before to power the working coil.
According to the power supply data plate, the components can deal with the 230 volt and use 8 amps (so r.m.s. amperage 5.7 A). So in theory I suppose I could use them to build a 920W induction heater. What do you think about ?
