This paper proposes a new induction heating (IH) coil using Halbach-arranged coils for cooktop. In general, a control inverter is placed on the back side of the coil, but by using the Halbach array coils, magnetic flux leakage to the back of the coil can be prevented without using a ferrite cores for magnetic shielding. Further, the magnetic flux can be concentratedly linked to the pot. First, differences and advantages of the magnetic flux distribution between the conventional IH-coil and the proposed IH-coil will be described based on electromagnetic field analysis. Next, the results of verification of the effect of the Halbach array coil via the prototype for principle verification are demonstrated.
