Induction works according to a simple basic principle. An electronic circuit supplies power and electronically controls an inductor coil inside the cooktop. This coil generates a magnetic field when cookware is placed in contact with the cooktop surface, causing induced currents to flow through the base of the cookware. These currents transform the cookware into a heat source by what is called the joule effect, leaving the surface of the cooktop surrounding the cookware cool to the touch.
In concrete terms, induction technology produces two basic results.
First, the cookware itself emits the heat, so that maximum heating power is released and food is cooked with little or no heat loss.
Second, thermal inertia is eliminated, since it is by placing or removing the cookware on the cooktop’s surface that activates or deactivates the induction coil.
Standard Diva induction components which include covered induction coils, keyboards and the powerboard.
