Electric stove: this

In the modern world, it is difficult to imagine the life of any person without a stove in his kitchen. Since ancient times, people could not do without preparing food for themselves. At first this happened on fire, and for a very long time.

And only in 1835, in England, a patent for a thing called a gas stove was born. And a little later, at the end of the 19th century, Thomas Ahern presented to the whole world his revolutionary invention - the electric stove.

General concept of an electric stove

To put it in simple and understandable language, the electric stove, the photo of which you see in the article, is an electricity-powered device that allows you to cook almost any dish and has a certain number of useful modes.

Main types of electric stoves

The design of the slabs is different (they contain in the design):

• Classically resistive heating element;
• A simple spiral;
• Tubular electric heater (TEH);
• Halogen heater;
• Tape-shaped heater (Hi-Light).

Let's look at what inductive models are.

ATTENTION: These options differ from others by almost instantaneous cooling and the same heating; if there is no current, then special (induction) coils do not produce a magnetic vortex, and the bottom of the pan does not heat up.In addition, electric energy is consumed more evenly by induction burners, so bills will be paid much less. These models are considered much more economical, because they use 1.5 less energy than other electric stoves.

Surface type:

• Open spiral or heating element;
• Cast iron burner;
• Glass ceramic surface.

Control type:

• Mechanical;
• Sensory.

Design:

• Floor;
• Built-in;
• Portable (single-burner and two-burner).

Electrical connection method:

• Single phase;
• Three-phase.

REFERENCE: When connected to a three-phase network, a “miracle benefit” occurs, because this allows you to reduce the consumption of metal products on wires. Most three-phase devices are connected to a single-phase network without modification.

How the devices work

Classic. They work on the principle of the J.-Lenz law, which involves the release of thermal energy and the passage of current through a special element. The power of the burners is regulated in two ways: stepwise and stepless.

Induction. Here, not a heater, but an inductive coil will be used as a heater. Therefore, the electric field created by it passes unhindered through the surface of the model and begins to heat the bottom of any ferromagnetic dish. It is important that the dishes occupy at least 60-70% of the burner itself, otherwise the stove will not function.

Safety precautions when working with the device

1. Depending on the model you choose, use suitable cookware, for example, for induction cookware only ferromagnetic cookware is allowed.
2. When cooking, it is recommended to remove all jewelry and accessories (watches, bracelets, etc.) in order to avoid various everyday situations.
3. Avoid getting cold water on hot burners to prevent them from cracking.
4. Monitor the heating level, as this can cause an accidental and unpleasant burn.
5. Avoid pinpoint impacts on the surface, as the slab panel may become unsuitable for further use.
6. An electric stove is a powerful household appliance. To connect it, you must use either special connectors that are designed for electric stoves or industrial ones. Incorrect placement of the stove and/or its connection can lead to both fire and electric shock.
