Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0740008A2] The invention relates to a safety switching apparatus against dry operation of electrical resistances, particularly for washing machines and dishwashers, with electromechanical or electronic control systems and level switches for monitoring the water level. Security against dry operation of the heating resistances is considerably improved in that two level switches monitor the normal water level and, incorporated in series, control a switch element, in that the switch element triggers the control motor and switches off the water intake valve, and in that the control motor, after expiry of a predetermined time, by means of control contacts, switches the heating resistance into parallel with the switch element in the heating and washing stage following the water intake stage. <IMAGE>
