Induction heating circuit and winding method for heating coils

Abstract

A heating circuit for heating a conductive bowl includes a voltage source; a first heating coil provided between first and second nodes and being configured to heat the conductive bowl; a second heating coil provided between the second node and a third node and being configured to heat the conductive bowl; first capacitor and first switch provided in parallel between the first node and a fourth node; and second capacitor and second switch provided in parallel between the third node and the fourth node. The first and second heating coils define a circle-like shape having a center. The first and second heating coils are configured to be aligned to each other if one of the first and second heating coils is moved with respect to a line extending through the center of the circle-like shape.
