You asked for my opinion, so I am giving it. I am interested in building an induction burner, and sought out this subject specifically. I appreciate your work, but I have to say--this was hard to watch. EMFs and EDMs and theories about theories and wavy lines. What would really make normal people get this (which is what you're after, I hope) is to start off here: "I want to understand induction cooking--so let's MAKE one." So you start by running a current through a plain coil of wire, and that doesn't "work" because (x). So you correct for X, and explain why that is so. Then it will do (fill in the blank), but not (y), so you correct for Y, explaining as you go. This would have been so much more useful.

Great video! I have a question. The induction stove that I have does detect a thin aluminium foil or very thin walled aluminium container and both fly off the stove surface when stove is put on, (result of eddy currents opposing the magnetic field producing it). I filled the thin walled container with water and placed it on the stove, the stove detected it and heat was generated instantly, the heat damaged the container but water became warm. However the stove does not detect aluminium pan or pot, why so? Does the thin Aluminium foil have higher resistance and hence gets detected?

Hi, really good video but I have a question please. I have an induction cooker but the power setting 400 or the temp setting 176F is too high for my cooking and burns the food. I want to adjust the duty cycle of the coil. how would you recommend I go about that?

[@SiliconSoup]

There are two types of low-power cooking, one is intermittent cooking, e.g. turn ON 4 seconds of 1000W and rest for 6 seconds to achieve an average of 400W, the other is continuous cooking, turn on 4 rectified half-sin-wave and turn off 6 rectified half-sin-wave. In either case, the close-loop algorithm ensures the 1000W is accurate, and the duty cycle of 4/10 is open-loop control. How do you want to adjust the duty cycle? Do you have access to the firmware and the necessary tool for modification?

[@mikeb6389]

A single circular magnetic field results in unevenly heating the pan’s cooking surface with it being too hot in the center and too cool around the parameter. This condition causes the pan bottom to warp. There is a need for multiple overlapping wedge shaped magnetic fields arranged in a circle to evenly induce pan heating.

[@SiliconSoup]

Thanks for the info. When making the video, I was hoping to capture the water boiling starts from the centre of the pan first and then spread out to the circumference, but I was not able to capture that. So you are probably right, the coil is compensated to heat evenly.

[@mikeb6389]

@@SiliconSoup Sure, induction can boil water but it can’t sauté evenly multiple items in the pan like caramelizing onions.

[@philipgrice1026]

@@mikeb6389 Yes it can. You just need a well engineered, good quality induction range and compatible steel or iron saute pans. When you heat with gas you still need to preheat, or at least allow time for the heat to spread evenly across the pan bottom. You can do the same with steel or iron pans just by allowing time for the heat to migrate. the better the pan heat conductivity the easier this is, just the same as when heating with gas. My experience using 50 year old triple layer stainless steel RenaWare pans on both gas and induction hobs is that the induction heating is faster, has more accurate temperature control and does not turn on the automatic heat sensing fan over the range as it does not put waste heat into the air over the stove. Finally, induction hobs are much easier to keep clean than any gas range, and as my dear old Mum would say, cleanliness is next to godliness.

Thanks. I was wondering if I could modify the detection circuit a bit. My induction cooker works fine until the smallest diameter pot (which is made for induction cooking) but it produces the E0 error, that means it is detecting no metal on the secondary side. I wondered where one would adjust the sensitivity as I think it only needs a slight sensitivity adjustment to be able to detect the smallest pot. Kind regards.

[@SiliconSoup]

I wouldn't recommend you to modify the detection circuit to fool the MCU. The smaller pot doesn't have enough load resistance, so if you manage to fool the MCU to do the induction, the feedback loop of power control may cause the back-emf to exceed the design value, and that may damage the IGBT (unless the protection is very robust).

At 5:00 is the schematic. There is a LC filter between the rectified voltage and the coil.

[@woodcoast5026]

Actually the term EMF here is an arcane concept. The time varying current in the coil actually causes an Electric Field around and along the coil due to self inductance in units of volts per meter, that is the Maxwell Faraday law. The International Electro Technical commission has regulated the term EMF to the status of deprecated.

[@SiliconSoup]

You got the cause and effect wrong. Electric field causes charges to move (current), not the other way round. Maxwell Faraday equation is curl of E = - dB/dt.

[@woodcoast5026]

@@SiliconSoup You just wrote it there yourself curl of E = - dB/dt. The term - dB/dt is caused by the current. The current is caused by the the applied electric field and as a consequence there is an apposing electric field.

To say that "The current is caused by the applied electric field", and "The time-varying current in the coil actually causes an Electric Field around and along the coil due to self-inductance in units of volts per meter" over-simply the whole induction process. How does the cookware contribute to the circuit behavior? The induction process is very complicated and therefore I devoted 0:50 to 3:30 to explain exactly what happens when various current and B-field interact with each other. If you are implying that all these can be summarized by Maxell Faraday law, then I disagree.

You’ll notice the IGBTs are 600 V or greater, which means the room temp BVCES will never be 600 V. Why do you think the line voltage will be capable of reaching BVCES and damage the IGBT? During the on cycle the IGBT will be approximately 1.5 V with a load of 25 A, that’s 37 W. If the cycle is very long you can estimate the junction to case temp increase is 37 to 100 °C depending on the heat sink. Then there’s the ETS which is ~0.5 to 1.2 mJ. So the average switching losses are 1 kHz*1 mJ = 1 W; adjust for frequency and temperature and thermal impedance. The datasheet will give you guidance for temperature as a function of frequency. So, the ideal behavior of switch mode converters is different than a true application. Real devices self heat and contribute losses while on and during transition. I am sure you know this but I thought others might like to know you were speaking of an ideal switch and not an IGBT.

[@Logan880121]

Your video is very informative. Can you help to make the circuit ignore that is no cookware on it and still stay on, like yours on the video? Thanks.

[@SiliconSoup]

In my design/video, the controller sends out a single pulse to test the presence of the cookware, once every second. It doesn't ignore the absence of the cookware. This firmware is designed to produce the induction power according to the user setting. If the user sets 1600W, the close-loop algorithm makes sure the average VxI is 1600W. If I ignore the absence of the cookware, there is no load to absorb the power, and the close loop algorithm will attempt to push the current higher until the heat dissipated at the coil resistance is 1600W. But in the process, the back EMF will overshoot and trigger the protective mechanism for the IGBT. Therefore, even if I ignore the absence of cookware, the induction will stop.

[@Logan880121]

@@SiliconSoup in my case if I put not big enough cookware the controller goes to a fault mode and does not send power to the coil just for very short time. How can I overcome this problem?

@@Logan880121 I want to be sure we are on the same page. Are you using HT45F0057, and do you have access to the source code and the ability to modify the source code? Or is this a general discussion? If you don't put enough cookware, the test pulse oscillates and sustain long, telling the firmware that no cookware is present; the firmware will not start the induction. On the other hand, during the cooking, if the cookware is removed suddenly, due to transformer effect, the current on the primary side will drop suddenly, and once the firmware detect the sudden drop in the current, it will stop the induction.

If the DC is 325V, then yes, you can skip the AC altogether. But if the DC is 12V, then the coil inductance and resistance must be much smaller to achieve the same current by the lower switching voltage. Many component values must change.

[@SiliconSoup]

Low duty cycle pwm cannot swing the collector voltage to the ground, and switching on the IGBT while the collector (and capacitor) retain some voltage is very damaging to the IGBT, as shown at 8:52. Therefore for low-power cooking, instead of reducing the pwm duty cycle further, many resort to intermittent cooking (boil-off-boil-off). Holtek low power continuous heating is to overcome this problem. Basically, in stead of controlling the IGBT 3-sec on, 7-sec off, it does 3-halfwave on, 7 halfwave off. Halfwave is the rectified AC waveform. The source code is open, but not easy to understand. I strongly suggest you use Holtek solution, because the MCU is designed specifically for the induction cooker. It has OpAmp built-in for the current measurement, comparator for monitoring the coil voltage and triggering the IGBT at the appropriate timing. The latest model even have the IGBT driver built-in. Induction cooker firmware design is not easy. Commercial induction cooker power supply is non-isolated type, so you have to isolate the power supply before you can hook it up to the PC for emulate and debug.

The switching of IGBT invert the DC to AC. When the IGBT is on, current flows through the coil to the ground. When the IGBT is off, the current continue to flow and charge up the capacitor. Some point later the charged capacitor will discharge and the current reverse direction. So there is an alternating current in the coil.

So, it is an electrical interaction with the cookware (i.e., current resulting from a moving magnetic field), rather than the oscillating magnetic field itself interacting with the cookware. If that's the case, then it seems that the only requirement for my cookware would be that it resists electrical current, not that it is magnetic. What am I missing?

[@SiliconSoup]

Thank you for this good question.The magnetic field above the glass top attenuates quickly because of free-space permeability. The flux going into the cookware is weak and it cannot induce much current. If the cookware is made of magnetic material with high relative permeability, the flux gets multiplied and there induces more current for heating. In other words, the magnetic cookware enhances the coupling and increases the mutual inductance.

[@Jumbernaut]

@@SiliconSoup. Hello, thank you for the video. You said the wrong cookware could damage the IGBT by messing with the oscillation too much. For those of us who just want to know how to use and take care of our induction stove and cookware, what do you mean by wrong cookware? Are you talking about the cookware material, it's shape, or both? What is the type of cookware we should and should not use on induction? Is it ok to use a heavy Cast Iron skillet on it? I have two other questions. I hear cheap induction hobs that only work by going 100% power "all the time" and keep switching on and off can damage/warp even Carbon Steel skillets. I have one and I'm afraid of benting mine. How do I know if I have a good induction cooktop or one of these cheap ones? I know I should use a cookware of a size smaller than the coil I'm using, but other than that, what can I do to make sure my cookware won't warp? Also, I like using a stovetop moka "espresso" maker on induction, but I want to use a smaller one and the coil won't detect it. I've tried placing some coins or other "magnetic" steel inside it, but it wasn't enough to make the detection work. How does this work? Does placing several metal objects on top of the coil messes with the magnetic field? Does it have to be just one "big enough" metal piece for it to work? Is there any other way I can "hack" to coil detection in order to get it to detect and head the small stainless steel moka that won't be detected by itself? Magnets do work on the small moka's bottom, but it's just too small. Thank you for your time.

[@SiliconSoup]

@@Jumbernaut For the coil to detect the cookware, the cookware must be magnetic and resistive, and alloy of iron and chromium is an example. Moreover, you must place the alloy/load just on top of the glass top, not any further away. If it is a bit further, the circuit cannot detect it. The magnetic steel should come as a big chuck (rather than several objects), so that current can flow easily inside, to absorb energy. The transfer of energy to the load damps the oscillation, and the MCU detect to damping to determine whether there is a load. If the material of moka maker can't be detected, then the induction can't heat up the same material either, so there is no point trying to fool the coil to turn on the induction. But I guess if you can submerge a big alloy in water inside the maker, the the cooker can detect the alloy, it will turn on the induction, heat up the alloy and transfer the heat to the water.

The induction power depends on the "transformer" rating, i.e. the coil's current carrying capability, the coil resistance, the turn ratio and load resistance. The higher the turn ratio, the higher the load resistance appears to the coil (n-square), and i2R is the power delivered to the load.
