Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method 200 of controlling a system 101, 102, 103 including a heating arrangement 130 for heating a process medium 140, a sensing arrangement 180, and a switching arrangement 120 configured to selectively couple a power supply 110 to the heating arrangement 130. The method 200 comprises: monitoring 210 a parameter of an electrical power provided by the power supply 110 using the sensing arrangement 180; comparing 230 the monitored parameter to a first threshold; and in response to a determination that the monitored parameter exceeds the first threshold: controlling 232 the switching arrangement 120 to decouple the power supply 110 from the heating arrangement 130.
Claims20
A method of controlling a system including a heating arrangement for heating a process medium, a sensing arrangement, and a switching arrangement configured to selectively couple a power supply to the heating arrangement, the method comprising:
- monitoring a parameter of an electrical power provided by the power supply using the sensing arrangement;
- comparing the monitored parameter to a first threshold;
- and
- in response to a determination that the monitored parameter exceeds the first threshold:
- controlling the switching arrangement to decouple the power supply from the heating arrangement.
