The method of step-continuous phase power control of a multi-section resonant inverter on the basis of parallel connection of half-bridge inverter sections is proposed. Step power change consists of the commutation of synchronized step-controlled sections and continuous power control at power intervals between commutations is realized by the phase shift of pulses of a continuous-controlled section relative to the pulses of step-controlled sections. Such control provides the increase in inverter efficiency at the medium and low power levels, a wide power control range and constant inverter operation frequency.
