The invention relates to an induction coil assembly for an induction hob comprising: a coil baseplate () adapted to receive an induction coil (); an adapter assembly () being mechanically coupled with the coil baseplate () via a connecting portion (); wherein the adapter assembly () being adapted to be mounted at an electronic power board () of the induction hob and wherein the adapter assembly () comprises electrical connecting means for realizing a first electrical connection between the induction coil () and the electronic power board () and further electrical connecting means for realizing a second electrical connection between an induction coil sensor and the electronic power board ().

Induction coil assembly and induction hob comprising an induction coil assembly

A method for determining the suitability of a cookware for a corresponding induction coil of an induction cooking hob is provided. The method includes detecting current through the induction coil, detecting the phase difference between the voltage and current of the induction coil, and detecting the frequency at the induction coil. The method further includes comparing the detected current with a stored maximum value of the current, comparing the detected phase difference with a stored maximum value of the phase difference, comparing the detected frequency with a stored maximum frequency, calculating the power transfer from the detected current, phase difference and/or frequency, estimating the suitability of the cookware in dependence of the power transfer and at least one of the compared parameters, and outputting at least one optical and/or acoustic signal corresponding with the suitability of the cookware.
