At induction, the surface remains cool as long as it falls down with a magnetic cookware. This is achieved by inverse electromagnetic induction process.
The principle of operation of the induction plate associated with obtaining heating effect by creating an alternating electromagnetic field in a closed loop.
The device of such plates is significantly different from the traditional analogues with cast iron burners or more new glass-ceramic. Scheme basic elements comprises:
- coil in which induction currents are generated;
- of glass-ceramic cooktop;
- insulation separating it from the coil;
- a frequency converter;
- an electronic control unit.
Required element - special dishes, without which it is impossible to use this stove. At the bottom of pots and pans to be ferromagnetic alloy that provides heating contents.
Scheme of work
heating scheme is fundamentally different from the plates, working using a conventional electric PETN. The process of obtaining the desired temperature the following:
- The current coming from the home network to the coil is converted into a magnetic field.
- Field generates eddy currents.
- Ferromagnetic bottom interacts with the induced current forming circuit.
- The resultant heat warms the wall ware and its contents.
In this scheme a lot of advantages, which are well affect the speed of preparation and energy savings.
Benefits
The main advantages of the plates of an induction heating type make it more effective as compared to less tech analogues. Among the advantages:
- high efficiency with a 90% efficiency;
- safety of use - it heats only in the presence of a special panel tableware;
- rapid heating - to boil a half liters of water take no more than 4 minutes;
- the presence of the booster, which redistributes power from idle burners to speed up the preparation;
- easy maintenance - the panel is enough to wipe with a damp cloth before use.
These advantages can be supplemented with technological design that adorns the interior of the kitchen.
Health hazard
Induktsionka and cooked food on it is absolutely harmless to health. The strength of the induced currents are relatively small. They do not penetrate even inside the cookware, located in the panel. These fears do not match reality.
In the induction hob there is a small feature that will not cause harm, but can cause uncomfortable sensations. This characteristic or clicking of noise when operating at high power. To eliminate this discomfort manufacturers have provided intermittent mode when the heating pulse occurs.
disadvantages
The most mentioned among them - a high price in comparison with other stoves. The other disadvantages associated with additional costs:
- Buy new cookware made of ferromagnetic alloy.
- Installation of three-phase wiring, which will use the hob at maximum power.
List the benefits of induction outweigh the cons considerably this hob.
Installation Requirements
Induction cooker should not be placed on the metal surfaces and other household appliances:
- microwave;
- refrigerators;
- dishwashers.
Its place of installation should leave sufficient space for ventilation.
care Features
Scheme of panel inevitably affects its service. It is not very different from the care conventional glass ceramic plate and generally requires proper surface cleaning:
- Only special tools can be used to remove contaminants;
- You can also use gels or nonabrasive window cleaner;
- for applying and then removing the detergent recommended separate sponge;
- after cleaning is necessary to remove residual moisture to dryness;
- to prevent excessive pollution of all the spots should be removed immediately after cooking.
Briefly about the dishes
To avoid breakdowns, remember to correct selection of dishes for this plate. With it, you can use any container, from which:
- bottom of a ferromagnetic alloy;
- flat bottom plane;
- diameter of not less than 12 cm;
- a wall thickness of 2-4 cm.
It is better not to use ceramic or glass, but you can work around this requirement by setting a bowl disc of a suitable material as needed.
To familiarize with the operating requirements of the induction hob will help guide that comes in the kit.
