[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyewon] Samsung Electronics announced on the 10th that its induction electric range (hereinafter referred to as induction) has won the Energy Star 'High Efficiency and Advanced Technology Award (ETA)' hosted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).


Samsung Electronics became the first to win the ETA in the induction category, once again proving the innovation of Samsung Electronics' high-efficiency energy technology.


Since 2011, the ETA has been awarded to Energy Star top-tier products that incorporate innovative technologies aimed at improving energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.


Samsung Electronics previously received the ETA for dryers in 2013, refrigerators in 2017, and refrigerators equipped with active digital inverter compressors in 2020.

The induction (NZ30A3060UK) that won the ETA this time is equipped with four burners, making it convenient to use cooking vessels of various sizes.


Based on Wi-Fi, users can check the operation status of each burner via mobile devices, and by utilizing GPS, the 'lock' function for child safety protection can be automatically activated when going out, enhancing both usability and safety.


Samsung induction optimizes energy consumption by minimizing heat loss through a design that spaces the coils inside and applying an algorithm that optimizes output for each burner.


In addition, high-efficiency inverter technology is applied so that when the product is not in use, power supplied from the power conversion device is cut off except for parts that necessarily require standby power, such as the control panel, thereby reducing standby power consumption.



Lee Ki-soo, Vice President of Samsung Electronics' Home Appliance Business Division, said, "Samsung Electronics has achieved the remarkable feat of being the first in the global industry to win the ETA for induction by applying differentiated energy-saving technology," adding, "We will continue to expand products that consider not only performance and design but also eco-friendly elements."
