PROCEDURES FOR TESTING THE ELECTRICAL SECURITY OF A HOUSEHOLD AND RECEIVING HOUSEHOLDS

摘要

A nominal setpoint value of the admissible power consumption of a household appliance is respectively set for each electrical component. The actual value of the current consumption of the household appliance is measured according to the electrical components used and is compared with the corresponding setpoint value. A safety measure is triggered if the nominal value is exceeded. The novel household appliance is provided with a control device that includes a device for respectively regulating a nominal value of the admissible current consumption for the electrical components of the household appliance, a device for measuring the actual value of the current consumption of the household appliance according to the electrical components used, and a comparator for comparing the actual value with the corresponding nominal value. The unit triggers a safety measure if the setpoint value is exceeded.
