Yes it's All Clad. Had to replace some other pots we had that didn't work with induction.
Faster and more even heat than gas and responds instantly when you turn it down. Doesn't scorch like gas either.

Wow. The build is actually beautiful to me. Neat wiring and attention to detail. It is the kind of thing could happen to anyone. I second the thought of using Nylon or other sturdy product. The responses were all spot on, and that really helps when you are trying to troubleshoot a basic flaw. I want to see more photos of this project. From what I already have seen, I would likely get some good ideas for a future build.
A common mistake! At least you now know👍It's always good to learn something new. Maybe this is common knowledge, but I learned that surrounding a toroid with a ground is a bad idea.
I thought the small adjacent toroids were creating some competing magnetic fields and causing the problem, but that was not the case. When I disconnected them from the terminal block the problem persisted. But as soon as I removed the terminal block and bracket going across the top, the problem went away.
Go figure.
If you want to keep the cooker top pristine, put a sheet of grease proof paper between the cooker surface and your pan.Yes it's All Clad. Had to replace some other pots we had that didn't work with induction.

Thank you. I actually like the fabrication as much as the electronics. The chassis is an old 70's Kenwood receiver that I'm retrofitting with a modern PS, amp, and preamp. Space is tight so I have to be careful with the layout. This is my 3rd build like this, I love that era.The build is actually beautiful to me
I'll post more pics as it slowly progresses.
Great tip. There are times when I want to shake the food in the pan but I don't want to scratch the surface.put a sheet of grease proof paper between the cooker surface and your pan.
So do you mean like parchment paper?

Did you try to float the bracket so it wasn't connected to ground?
As is, it looks like it creates a current path to ground via inductive coupling, huh?

I'm going to make a new bracket out of nylon or some type of sturdy plastic. Something like this product would work good.Did you try to float the bracket so it wasn't connected to ground?
