Residential and Industrial Applications

• Significant in energy conservation; productivity

16-1
Improving Energy Efficiency of Heat Pumps

• Used in one out of three new homes in the U.S.

16-2
Loss Associated with ON/OFF Cycling

• The system efficiency is improved by ~30

percent

16-3
Inductive Ballast of Fluorescent Lamps

• Inductor is needed to limit current

16-4
 Rapid-Start Fluorescent Lamps

• Starting capacitor is needed

16-5
Electronic Ballast for Fluorescent Lamps

• Lamps operated at ~40 kHz

16-6
 Induction Cooking

• Pan is heated directly by circulating currents –

increases efficiency

16-7
 Industrial Induction Heating

• Needs sinusoidal current at the desired

frequency: two options
16-8
 Welding Application

• Three options

16-9
 Switch-Mode Welders

• Can be made much lighter weight

16-10
 Integral Half-Cycle Controllers

• Used for heating
