Method for operating a temperature limiting device, temperature limiting device and electrical device

摘要

The invention relates to a method for operating a temperature limiting device (2) of an electrical device (1) that can be activated over a limited period of time by means of an activation signal. It is provided that the temperature limiting device (2) only allows the activation of the electrical device (1) when the activation signal occurs if a counter value is greater or smaller than a reference value, the counter value also being activated each time the electrical device (2) is activated is incremented or decremented to a certain temperature equivalent value. The invention further relates to a temperature limiting device (2) and an electrical device (1).
