Using Multiple Elements and Power Throttling

The HyperCore cooktop has a maximum total output of 15 kW, which means not all elements can operate at full power simultaneously. When two elements are set to 10 kW, the system automatically throttles them to approximately 7.5 kW total.

This behavior is normal among all induction cooktops. Even when throttled, HyperCore delivers performance greater than traditional induction systems thanks to its advanced power management architecture.

Why throttling occurs

Power throttling protects internal electronics, maintains safety, and matches the total system power capacity. High-power usage—such as bringing water to a rapid boil—typically lasts only a few minutes before power naturally decreases to 1–2 kW to sustain a boil.

Maximum Temperature With All Four Elements Active

When operating all four cooking zones simultaneously, performance varies slightly depending on what you’re preparing. In internal testing, once pre-heated:

• Maintaining 482°F across four empty pans requires only ~1.75 kW total (around 400 W per element).

Performance on different electrical connections

• 240V Connection
  With a charging rate of ~2 kW, the cooktop can run indefinitely at these levels.
• 120V Connection
  Charging occurs at ~1.5 kW (at the default 12.5A). Even accounting for efficiency losses, you can operate the cooktop at 1.75 kW total for approximately 6 hours.
