Abstract: A transversal field heating installation for inductively heating flat objects transported in an advancing direction includes at least one inductor unit that extends across the width of the flat object. The inductor unit has at least two superimposed inductor layers parallel to the plane of the flat object. These inductor layers can be independently displaced transversally in relation to the advancing direction of the flat object, and each have two inductor sections with two parallel interspaced base limbs extending transversally in relation to the advancing direction and one lateral limb. Each inductor layer has lateral limb per strip edge of the flat object. The inductor sections of an inductor layer can be independently displaced transversally in relation to the advancing direction of the flat object.

Abstract: The invention relates to a transversal field heating installation (1) for inductively heating flat objects (5) that can be transported in an advancing direction (V), said installation comprising at least one inductor unit (2) extending transversally in relation to the advancing direction (V) over the width of the flat object (5).

Abstract: A magnetic yoke for an induction crucible furnace includes a bar-shaped core stack for conducting magnetic flux generated by a furnace coil of the furnace. The core stack is formed of a multiplicity of individual, mutually electrically insulated single laminations with edges. The core stack has a first principal surface facing the furnace coil and three second principal surfaces not facing the furnace coil. The first principal surface has a shape being subdivided three-fold, defining a central region of the core stack to be positioned very near the furnace coil and two lateral regions of the core stack adjacent the central region, and defining a distance between the edges of the single laminations of the core stack and the furnace coil being increased towards the edge in the two lateral regions of the core stack, forming acute-angled, lamination-free sectors parallel to the furnace axis in two peripheral regions of the magnetic yoke being directed towards the furnace coil.
