Power distribution / sharing across multiple consumers

The distribution of converter power to several consumers is used in inductive melting technology. While e.g. if one of two melting furnaces is waiting for tapping and only needs warming power, the second furnace can already be melted with the much larger output.

A distinction is made between a continuous distribution with simultaneous activation of both consumers and a temporally offset activation, which is carried out by activation of different semiconductors of a correspondingly expanded inverter.

A special design is the converter technology used for stud heating, which controls an induction coil divided into several sections, see also billet heating.
