January 16, 2013 - TEST #14 : Here is a new serie of tests of the GEGENE v1.3 with the flat bifilar coil v1.1 and the induction cooker manufactured by "Rosenstein & Söhne" and with the reference NC-3050.

In this test, I have used this setup below of halogen lamps as loads :

1 box of 6 halogenes lamps of 105 W
2 sets of halogen which contains :
- 1 set of halogens tubes : ((2 x 240 W) + (1 x 400 W)) + (2 x 500 W)
- 1 set of halogens tubes : (1 x 240 W) + (2 x 400 W)
The TOTAL POWER of the LOAD connected at the OUTPUT of the GEGENE is 3550 Watts

In this test, the output power has been limited to the level 5/10 i.e. at the middle power (about 1200 W).

TEST #12 RESULTS :

To measure the voltage and the current at the output for powering the halogen lamps, the two scope probes are set to X10 and are connected to the flat bifilar coil output. The probe Ch1 is used to measure the voltage accross the flat bifilar coil output and the probe Ch2 is used to measure the current i.e. the voltage accross a 0.1 Ohm non inductive resistor Mundorf MR10 10W. Then the datas are sent to a datasheet to compute true RMS values and the efficiency. The electrical power input of the induction cooker is measured with a Wattmeter Energy Logger 4000F directly connected on the power grid.
