  • Induction hobs for preparing food are well known in prior art.
  • Induction hobs typically comprise at least one heating zone which is associated with at least one induction element.
  • the induction element is coupled with electronic driving means comprising a switching element for driving an AC current through the induction element.
  • Said AC current generates a time varying magnetic field.
  • the switching element receives a pulsed enabling signal in order to enable a current flow through the induction element according to the enabling signal.
  • the switching losses of the switching element significantly depend on the voltage values applied to the switching element.
  • EP 2 209 197 A1 describes an induction hob with a power stage comprising a half-bridge inverter. A control circuit is described that is adapted to adjust dead time when a non-zero voltage switching or non-zero current switching is detected.
  • US 4,151,387 A describes the provision of an enable signal for switching element so that energization only occurs at the beginning of a sinusoidally shaped wave.
  • the invention relates to an induction hob comprising a power stage with at a simple switching element for enabling an alternating current flow through an induction element and a control unit providing an enabling signal to the switching element for enabling said current flow through said induction element.
  • the induction hob further comprises a trigger generation unit, said trigger generation unit receiving an oscillating voltage provided at a first monitoring point of the power stage and a reference voltage provided at a second monitoring point of the power stage.

  • the switching element is an insulated-gate bipolar transistor.
  • Said insulated-gate bipolar transistor is in a quasi-resonant architecture.
  • the first monitoring point is arranged at the collector of the switching element. Said arrangement is advantageous because the voltage at the collector directly corresponds to the voltage drop across the switching element and therefore comprises information regarding the appropriate timing of launching the next enabling signal pulse.
