Preface
Electric heating is used in industry and in laboratories for example when there is a need to
reach high temperatures, or when the furnace atmosphere has to be extremely pure. Due
to the growing need to protect our climate, this form of heating has become increasingly
important, as electric energy can be produced without releasing CO2.
Depending on the requirements, either thyristor power switches or thyristor power controllers
are used in electric heating. Electronic transformers or, alternatively, thyristor power
controllers with a traditional transformer are used in the operation of high-temperature elements.
This book is designed to help readers select the appropriate type of actuator and provides
useful information on how to use them.
