Abstract

See full text

Integral sensor controller for an electrical resistance heater, where the heater is constructed from materials such as nickel, balco, platinum, alumel, or like materials which have an appreciable, positive temperature coefficient of resistivity. The resistance versus temperature characteristic of the heater acts as the temperature sensor. A low level D.C. current provides a sensor voltage which is compared to a set point voltage for switching the heater power through a transistor. The relationship of the sensor voltage to the set point voltage is compared by a comparator which is subsequently used to toggle flip flops for switching of the heater power. Circuitry is provided for protection against heater short circuits.
