Pot classification for induction cooking range

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LDC1614

Hi,

Can LDC device classify a material of pot?

For example, aluminum pot can't be used for induction cooking range.

For using this pot, pot manufacturer adds iron in aluminum.

I think its conductance is different so inductance should be different by material of pot.

I already check it using LDC1614 but it is difficult to be classified through checking inductance.

Could you advise for above question?

Thanks.

    Hello David,

    yes, this can be done, but you will need the LDC1000 for metal type identification applications. The LDC1000 can perform both RP and L measurements, and can operate at low frequencies down to 5kHz, at which it is easier to differentiate metal. You can then plot a few different metal types on a 2D-map (RP vs. L) to identify which pot is placed on the cooker.
