Abstract
An induction heating device includes: a working coil, an inverter, a current transformer, a current detecting circuit, a voltage detecting circuit, an AND circuit, and a controller. The induction heating device may detect presence or absence of an object and a material of the object based on a magnitude of resonance current applied to the working coil and a phase difference between the resonance current and a voltage applied to a switching element of the inverter.
