Advantages of Parallel Resonant Topology

Mesta parallel resonance topology aids in precise control and system efficiency, especially when compared with series resonance systems.

Fixed frequency PWM power control greatly enhances control stability and resolution.

Parallel resonance topology decreases the conductive losses between the inverter output and the load, which also allows for remote location of the Mesta power supply if needed.
