   Energy regulator of an electric stove with a glass-ceramic hob. 1: Electric contacts (here closed); 2: Bimetal; 3: Heater for Bimetal. An infinite switch, simmerstat, energy regulator or infinite controller is a type of switch that allows variable power output of a heating element of an electric stove. It is called "infinite" because its ...

4. Electric stove - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_stove

   A glass-ceramic cooktop (2005) Early electric stoves had resistive heating coils which heated iron hotplates, on top of which the pots were placed. [13] Eventually, composite heating elements were introduced, with the resistive wires encased in hollow metal tubes packed with magnesite. [14] These tubes, arranged in a spiral, support the ...

5. Heating element - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating_element

   A heating element is a device used for conversion of electric energy into heat, consisting of a heating resistor and accessories. [1] Heat is generated by the passage of electric current through a resistor through a process known as Joule heating. Heating elements are used in household appliances, industrial equipment, and scientific ...

   The procedures use a new hybrid test block made of aluminum and stainless steel. The proposed rule lists results of real lab tests conducted with the hybrid block. For comparable (large) cooking elements the following efficiencies were measured with ±0.5% repeatability: 70.7% - 73.6% for induction, 71.9% for electric coil, 43.9% for gas.
