Abstract

See full text

A temperature limiting device for connection across a common heater which senses the critical temperature of the heater to trip circuit breakers and thereby disrupt power to the heater when the critical temperature exceeds a predetermined value. The device includes an SCR or triac connected across power lines to the heater and which is triggered by a comparator monitoring the output of an integrator circuit. The input to integrator circuit is connected to the output of a thermocouple device. Upon the critical temperature of the heater exceeding the predetermined value as determined by the integrator and comparator circuits the SCR or triac is fired so as to short the voltage lines and thereby open the mechanically resettable circuit breakers.
