B-field Exposure From Induction Cooking Appliances 68
6.1.6 Discussion
The evaluation according to EN50366 (i.e., for a measuring distance of 30 cm) demonstrates
compliance according to the ICNIRP limit (6.25 µT) for all three devices with a margin larger
than 13 dB (see Chapter 5.0.1 and Table 11).
As demonstrated in this report, different pot and and heating configurations can results in
exposures that well exceeds +10 dB of the standard EN50366 configurations at same distance.
In addition, the field distribution has a strong gradient in the direction of larger distances (see
Table 14).
The maximum distance at which the ICNIRP limit of 6.25 µT is exceeded is 25 cm for Ap-
pliance 3 (pots non-centered). At 1 cm the limit is exceed by almost 20 dB. When measuring
above appliance 3 (single-hob measurement, pot 8 centered), the measured B-field exceeds this
guideline by over 22 dB. Since the induced currents are a function of the exposed cross-section
and not of local fields, these violations of the derived limits are not necessarily also a violation
of the governing basic restrictions.
