Abstract: This research shows the advantages of a less conventional heating technique. As was explained throughout this document, the primary advantage of induction heating is that the heat is generated within the material to be heated. This results in a very quick response, good efficiency and local heating possibilities. On the downside, because of the desired coupling between inductor and load, restrictions concerning size and geometry have to be taken into account. However, there are many applications possible in the field of heating or melting of metals.
