Sep 25, 2017 at 4:11 comment added Junkers @next-hack The MOSFETs are IRFP260ns
Sep 25, 2017 at 4:11 comment added Junkers @Marla The tank frequency is approximately 15.34KHz. I've noticed the effect of what you are pointing out. If the frequency is too low, ringing occurs during a positive going transition. I find this tends to happen as the graphite crucible heats up and the net inductance decreases. I typically have to increase the frequency to keep the circuit stable.

Sep 24, 2017 at 15:07 comment added Marla The FET diode will experience reverse recovery losses. Extra heating in the transistor package when operating below resonance
Sep 24, 2017 at 15:00 comment added analogsystemsrf @ Marla What are the energy-management issues, such that Foperate must be above Fresonate?
Sep 24, 2017 at 14:37 comment added Marla What is the frequency of your tank circuit (parallel I see). Operating frequency needs to be above resonant frequency of the tank circuit at all times.
Sep 24, 2017 at 14:36 comment added next-hack Which MOSFET did you use for Q1-4 ?
Sep 24, 2017 at 14:33 comment added Junkers My implementation of this circuit doesn't include R3-4 and R7-8. I didn't really see the point of them and they didn't make any practical impact during simulation.

Sep 24, 2017 at 14:25 comment added next-hack What are the resistor R3-4 and R7-8 for? IR2110 outputs are not meant for resistive loads...
