Induction heater

Not to be confused with Induction cooker.

An induction heater is a key piece of equipment used in all forms of induction heating. Typically an induction heater operates at either medium frequency (MF) or radio frequency (RF) ranges.[1]

Four main component systems form the basis of a modern induction heater

  • the control system, control panel, or ON / OFF switch; in some cases this system can be absent
  • the power unit (power inverter)
  • the work head (transformer)
  • and the heating coil (inductor)
