  • the induction iron For heating of the metal plate of the induction heating devices, such as a sole plate of the induction iron, the induction iron is placed over a heating platform which emits rapidly alternating electromagnetic waves.
  • the electromagnetic waves penetrate the sole metal plate which induces eddy currents in the sole metal plate of the induction iron.
  • the induced eddy currents cause the heating of the sole metal plate of the induction iron.

Consequently, such induction irons consume more electric power. Further, due to low heat retention capacity of the sole metal plate, the user has to frequently put the induction iron on the heating platform which causes further inconvenience to the user.
