The article addresses matters concerned with determining an ozone generator’s resonant power supply circuit characteristics at the design stage. Analytical expressions were obtained, and numerical simulation was carried out, the results of which were used as a basis for studying how the parameters of circuit components influence the ozone generator voltage and current in its circuit. The dependences of current and voltage amplitude values on the frequency, overvoltage, and discharge gap are given. It has been determined that the current and voltage amplitudes at the resonance frequency have finite values even at zero resistance in the circuit. It is shown that in the nonlinear circuit studied, the resonance voltage amplification is governed not only by the inverter operation frequency, but also by the ratio of the power supply voltage to the discharge firing voltage in the gas gap. The article presents the ozone generator Lissajous curves obtained using analytical expressions and numerical simulation, and the ozone generator power characteristics are given. It is shown that the active power can be determined proceeding from the known parameters of the power supply circuit and ozone generator components without the need to carry out experiments. Analytical relationships for determining the ozone generator power and power factor in the resonance power supply circuit are presented. The article is a continuation of [1], which presents the results of analytical study of the resonance power supply circuit of an ozone generator based on a volumetric barrier discharge, which includes an inverter and a high-voltage high-frequency transformer.
