Thermoelectric assembly for powering electromagnetic valves of a cooking appliance

A thermoelectric assembly for powering a first electromagnetic valve of a cooking appliance, the first electromagnetic valve being configured to close a passage of gas to a first burner of the cooking appliance, the thermoelectric assembly comprising:

• a main current circuit associated with the first electromagnetic valve, the main current circuit comprising:
• a thermocouple configured to detect a flame in the first burner;
• a cable connected to the thermocouple and configured to electrically connect the thermocouple with the first electromagnetic valve;
• a transistor electrically connected to the cable and configured to de-energize the first electromagnetic valve;
• a first connection module including a power supply connected to the transistor, the power supply comprising:
• first and second input terminals configured to be connected to an external energy source;
• a rectifier configured to transform an alternating current of the external energy source into direct current;
• and
• a first resistive block connected between the first input terminal and the rectifier, the resistive block being configured to minimize the current circulating through the power supply;
• wherein the first connection module includes a body inside which there is housed the power supply and the transistor, each of the first and second input terminals and an output terminal projects from the body.
