Abstract
A method and apparatus for transmitting a measurement variable that is detected by a measuring unit and transmitted via a data transmission channel to a main control unit of a domestic appliance that is isolated from the measuring unit is disclosed. The measurement control unit is coupled to the main control unit via a data transmission channel through which a measurement variable detectable by the measuring unit can be transmitted to the main control unit. The data transmission channel is a line having a protective impedance.

A domestic appliance comprising:
- a main control unit;
- a measurement unit electrically isolated from the main control unit;
- and
- a data transmission channel coupling said measurement control unit to the main control unit, said data transmission channel being adapted to transmit a measurement variable that can be detected by the measurement unit to the main control unit, a line having a protective impedance providing said data transmission channel.
A method for transmitting a signal characterizing a measurement variable from a measurement unit to a main control unit electrically isolated from the measurement unit in a domestic appliance, said method comprising the steps of:
- using the measurement unit to detect the measurement variable;
- and
- using a line having a protective impedance to transmit the measurement variable from a measurement control unit of the measurement unit through a data transmission channel to the main control unit, said main control unit being isolated from the measurement unit of the domestic appliance.
