An induction heater for a cooking surface. The induction heater includes an electrically insulating layer, at least one inductor defining a winding adapted to heat at least one cooking utensil, at least one sensor adapted to detect whether the at least one cooking utensil is placed above the cooking surface, and at least one magnetic flux concentrator. The at least one inductor and the at least one sensor are arranged on the electrically insulating layer. That layer is interposed between the at least one inductor and the at least one magnetic flux concentrator.

Induction heater for a cooktop

An induction heater for a cook top comprising: —a first electrically insulating sheet (); —a second electrically insulating sheet (); —one or more inductors () arranged on a same plane between the first sheet () and the second sheet (), each inductor () comprising a single electrically conductive track defining a flat spiral coil; —at least one magnetic flux concentrator () arranged on a plane under the second sheet (); —a metallic heat sink plate () arranged under the at least one magnetic flux concentrator (), adapted to dissipate the heat produced by the one or more inductors ().
