Abstract
Disclosed is an electromagnetic induction heater in which magnetic flux diffusing members are fixed to at least two ends of an iron core wrapped with an electric wire to form a coil, and a metal plate is connected to the magnetic flux diffusing members to heat a wide area of the metal plate uniformly. By supplying a commercial low frequency alternating power source of 50-60Hz to the coil, a magnetic flux is generated in the iron core. The magnetic flux, flowing in the magnetic flux diffusing members, is diffused in a longitudinal direction. Diffused magnetic flux flows through the metallic plate to generate Joule heat over the plate. Therefore, the entire surface of the metal plate is heated uniformly. Either a single-phase or three-phase alternating power source is used in this invention.
