Abstract

In this paper, to complement the capability of the existing heating system using an electric-heating wire for melting snow and ice in railway turnouts, 250kHz-200W-class Induction Heating (IH) system was designed. The IH system consists of the resonant inverter and the IH device. In order to perform the electric circuit, the electromagnetic field, and the thermal analysis, the Multi-Physics analysis for IH system was derived. In addition, IH system was compared with the existing heating system.
