Abstract: An induction hot plate including a plurality of heating regions with a reconfigurable structure. The hot plate includes at least two power modules, each supplying electrical power to at least one first and one second induction heating element. The maximum power to each of the regions can be increased by supplying electrical power from both power modules to only the first or the second induction heating element.
