What is IGBT in induction cooker?

IGBT - Induction Cooking. This Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) features a robust and cost effective Field Stop (FS) Trench construction, provides and superior performance in demanding switching applications, and offers low on−state voltage with minimal switching loss.

How does induction cooking work?

Induction cooking heats a cooking vessel by electrical induction, instead of by thermal conduction from a flame, or an electrical heating element. An induction hob contains a coil of copper wire underneath the ceramic plate, and when a cooking pot is placed on top an alternating electric current is passed through it.

How hot can induction heating get?

Induction heating finds applications in processes where temperatures are as low as 100ºC (212°F) and as high as 3000°C (5432°F). It is also used in short heating processes lasting for less than half a second and in heating processes that extend over several months.

Do induction cooktops turn off automatically?
