In today's world it is difficult to imagine the life of any person without a stove in his kitchen. Since ancient times, people could not do without cooking for themselves. At first it happened on fire, and for a very long time.
And only in 1835, in England, such a patent thing as a gas stove was born. And a little later, at the end of the XIX century, Thomas Ahern introduced the whole world his revolutionary invention - electric stove.
The general concept of the electric stove
In simple and understandable language, the electric stove, the photo of which you see in the article, is an electricity-powered device that allows you to cook almost any dish on yourself and has a certain number of useful modes.
The main types of electric stoves
The variant of execution of the plates is different (they contain in the design):
- Classically resistive heating element;
- Simple spiral;
- Tubular electric heater (TEN);
- Halogen heater;
- Ribbon Heater (Hi-Light).
Let's consider what are induction models.
ATTENTION: These options are different from others by almost instantaneous cooling and the same heating, if there is no current, then special (induction) coils do not generate a magnetic vortex, and the bottom of the dishes does not heat up. In addition, electric energy burners "induction" is consumed more evenly, so the payment of bills will be much less. These models are considered much more economical, because they use energy of 1.5 less than other electric stoves.
Surface type:
- Open spiral or heater;
- Cast iron burner;
- Glass-ceramic surface.
Type of control:
- Mechanical;
- Sensory.
Design:
- Floor;
- Recessed;
- Portable (single burner and double burner).
Connection method in the power supply network:
- Single phase;
- Three phase
REFERENCE: When connected to a three-phase network, a "miracle benefit" occurs, because this allows you to reduce the consumption of metal products on the wires. Most of the three-phase devices are included in a single-phase network without modifications.
The principle of operation of devices
Classic. They work on the principle of the J.-Lenz law, which involves the release of thermal energy and the passage of current through a special element. The power of the burners is regulated in two ways: stepwise and stepless.
Induction. Here, in the role of a heater, not a heater will be used, but an inductive coil. Therefore, the electric field created by it, it freely passes through the surface of the model and begins to warm the bottom of any ferromagnetic dishes. It is important that the dishes occupy at least 60-70% of the burner itself, otherwise the stove will not function.
Product Safety
- Depending on the model you have chosen, use suitable cookware, for example, only ferromagnetic kitchen products are allowed for induction.
- When cooking, it is recommended to take off all jewelry and accessories (watches, bracelets, etc.) from oneself in order to avoid various everyday situations.
- Avoid getting cold water on hot plates to prevent them from cracking.
- Monitor the level of heating, because it can provoke an accidental and unpleasant burn.
- Avoid being hit by point impacts on the surface, because the panel panel may become unsuitable for further operation.
- The electric stove is a powerful household appliance. To connect it, you must use either special connectors that are designed for electric stoves or industrial ones. Incorrect placement of the stove and / or its connection can lead to both fire and electric shock.
