Induction heating methods and apparatus

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus for induction heating are disclosed. An example induction heating cable assembly includes: a first group of one or more cables extending substantially in parallel; a second group of one or more cables extending substantially in parallel, the first group of cables in parallel with the second group of cables; and an insulation layer configured to insulate the first group of cables and the second group of cables from electrical contact, the insulation layer configured to group the first group of cables, to group the second group of cables, and to extend between the first group and second groups of cables, in which the first group of cables, the second group of cables, and the insulation layer are conformable to enable conformance of the induction heating cable assembly to a workpiece to be heated via the induction heating cable assembly.
