B-field Exposure From Induction Cooking Appliances 72
8 Conclusion
The objective of this study was to assess the maximum exposure that arises during the use of
induction cooking devices. Three devices currently available on the Swiss market were selected:
the built-in appliances 1 and 2 (Electrolux GK58TCi and Gaggenau CI 261 110) and the portable
appliance 3 (Inducs SH/BA 5000). The appliances were mounted on wooden supports allowing
measurement in close proximity to the hobs without disturbing the B-field.
Figure 55: a) Comparison between the compliance value (B-field measured according to
EN50366) and the maximum B-field measured in the worst-case scenarios at 1 cm and 30 cm
of Appliance 3. b) B-field measured according to EN50366 and c) B-field measured in the
worst-case configuration (horizontal plane at height of appliance).
