    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_switch

    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.

  3. Thermal cutoff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_cutoff

    Thermal fuses are usually found in heat-producing electrical appliances such as coffeemakers and hair dryers. They function as safety devices to disconnect the current to the heating element in case of a malfunction (such as a defective thermostat) that would otherwise allow the temperature to rise to dangerous levels, possibly starting a fire.

  4. 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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_heating

    The heating element inside every electric heater is an electrical resistor, and works on the principle of Joule heating: an electric current passing through a resistor will convert that electrical energy into heat energy. Most modern electric heating devices use nichrome wire as the active element; the heating element, depicted on the right ...

  6. Gas stove - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_stove

    Basically it is a heating element that heats up to gas's ignition temperature. A sensor detects when the glow bar is hot enough and opens the gas valve. Also stoves with electric ignition must be connected with gas protection mechanisms such as gas control breaker. Because of this many manufacturers supply stoves without electricity plug.

  7. Self-regulating heater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-regulating_heater

    A positive-temperature-coefficient heating element (PTC heating element), or self-regulating heater, is an electrical resistance heater whose resistance increases significantly with temperature. The name self-regulating heater comes from the tendency of such heating elements to maintain a constant temperature when supplied by a given voltage.
