Abstract
A method of controlling the power of an electrical device in dependence on a temperature includes determining a temperature or a variable which depends on the temperature of an element selected from the group consisting of a current supply unit connected with the electrical device, one or several components of the electrical device, and both, and when the determined temperature or a variable which depends on it exceeds a predetermined threshold, reducing power taken from the electrical device until the temperature or a variable which depends on it falls below the threshold or a lower threshold.
Claims7
A method of controlling the power of an electrical device in dependence on a temperature, comprising the steps of determining a temperature or a variable which depends on the temperature of an element selected from the group consisting of a current supply unit connected with the electrical device, one or several components of the electrical device, and both;
- and when the determined temperature or a variable which depends on it exceeds a predetermined threshold, reducing power taken from the electrical device until the temperature or a variable which depends on it falls below said threshold or a lower threshold.
A device for controlling the power of an electrical device depending on a temperature, comprising first means for detecting a temperature or a variable which depends on the temperature of an element selected from the group consisting of a current supply unit connected with the electrical device, one or several components of the electrical device, and both;
- and second means which, when the detected temperature or a value which depends on it exceeds a predetermined threshold, reduces power taken from the electrical device until the temperature or a value which depends on it falls below said threshold or a lower threshold.
