The range of frequencies used in induction heating is Correct Answer more than 1 kHz

Induction heating:

  • Induction heating is also known as high-frequency heating.
  • The induction heating process makes use of currents induced by electromagnetic action in the material to be heated (transformer principle).
  • The main difference between low and high-frequency heating is that in the former case it is transferred either by convection, conduction, or radiation whereas in the latter case conversion of electromagnetic energy into heat energy takes place in the material itself.
  • Heat transfer by conventional methods is very small.
  • Induction heating is used in the frequency range of more than 1 kHz.

 

​Advantages:

  • High speed of heating.
  • The thermal capacity of the furnace being small, no warm-up time is required.
  • Well suited for intermittent operation.
  • Can be used for heating and welding.
