Cooker, Hob, Oven
Description:

An oven is an electrically driven device for baking, roasting or grilling food. Nowadays, ovens are integrated into household stoves and can be operated with different heating methods: For top and/or lower heat, ceiling and floor of the oven are heated by heating coils; the natural air flow then ensures the distribution of the heated air. When using the circulating air method, a ventilator spreads the heated air in such an efficient way that a lower temperature can be set and thereby energy saved. For the hot air mode, there is an additional ring heater around the ventilator. Ovens which can also be used for grilling have another uncovered heating coil at the ceiling.

The alternating electric and magnetic fields of a cooker and a single hob at the fundamental frequency of 50 Hz resp. 60 Hz are caused by the heating process of the cooking plate.

Unless otherwise stated, the operating frequency confirms with measured frequency, i.e. the measurement was performed at the operating frequency of the induction stoves.

Frequency ranges:
  • 50–60 Hz
Type of field:
electric and magnetic
