Abstract
An induction heating system includes a housing, a heating surface, a first power inverter disposed within the housing, a second power inverter disposed within the housing, a first plurality of working coils, and a second plurality of working coils. The first plurality of working coils is connected in series. The first plurality of working coils is disposed within the housing and electrically coupled to the first power inverter. The second plurality of working coils is connected in series. The second plurality of working coils is disposed within the housing and electrically coupled to the first power inverter. The first plurality of working coils and the second plurality of working coils are configured to receive power from the first power inverter and the second power inverter, respectively, to produce magnetic fields that interact with a ferrous material of cooking vessels or of the heating surface to generate heat in the ferrous material.
