Abstract
A heater for a hob or cooktop having a glass ceramic surface is disclosed, whereby a number of individual modules with induction coils are provided with converters and a converter control for each induction coil. The modules may be independently assembler and/or replaced, and are arranged close together beneath the glass ceramic hob and electrically connected to a busbar. Each module may be controlled separately. A heated surface of using various combinations of modules can thus be achieved.
