Any sense of why it shut-down? One might immediately
assume it's due to an
over-current situation, but it would be worth knowing exactly what
happened, for sure.
I suspect it?s just the opposite; the fault is the same as if one removed a ferrous pot
from the cooktop for more than a handful of seconds while running; from what I?ve observed
it looks like it decides that there?s *insufficient* current being drawn, throws the fault
display and shuts down the coil in question.
Did you try reducing the coupling, by placing a thin
sheet of glass between
the cooktop and the alum. foil?
I did with no change in the results but it did lead to the obvious follow-on; It turns out
that for a 10? Al-Clad pan I can distance it from the surface by about 8mm before it
decides to tell me to sod off.
