Synonyms:
Deep fryer
Description:

A deep-fat fryer is an electrical device for frying food in oil or fat. The alternating electric and magnetic fields at the fundamental frequency of 50 Hz resp. 60 Hz are caused by the heating process of the fat or oil.

Frequency ranges:
  • 50–60 Hz
Type of field:
electric and magnetic

Measurements (acc. to literature)

Measurand Value Feature Remarks
magnetic flux density 0.01 µT (mean, measured) - average value of 2 deep-fat fryers at a distance of 100 cm; measurement bandwidth: 40 - 800 Hz [1]
magnetic flux density 0.07 µT (mean, measured) - - [1]
magnetic flux density 4.44 µT (mean, measured) - average value of 2 deep-fat fryers at a distance of 5 cm; measurement bandwidth: 40- 800 Hz [1]
