Abstract (en)

An induction cooking apparatus (1), comprising an inductor element (10) driven by an inverter (7), which is in turn controlled by a control circuit (6), resonance capacitors (11) being connected in parallel to the inductor element (10); the apparatus further comprises a real-time control unit (5) suitable to detect the resonance current of a resonance circuit constituted by the inductor element (10) and by the resonance capacitors (11), and the phase current of the power supply line, in order to send, at each half-cycle of the fundamental wave, a driving signal for the control circuit in order to ensure a perfect resonance condition. <IMAGE>
