Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to a method for controlling a heating-up period of an oven. The heating-up period of the oven comprises a number of subsequent duty cycles. Each duty cycle includes a first phase with an upper current (I U ) and an upper power (P U ) and a second phase with a lower current (I L ) and a lower power (P L ). The upper current (I U ) and/or the upper power (P U ) exceeds a maximum allowed current or power, respectively, during the first phase of the duty cycle. The lower current (I L ) and/or the lower power (P L ) goes below the maximum allowed current or power, respectively, during the second phase of the duty cycle. An average current (I A ) and/or an average power (P A ) goes below or equals the maximum allowed current or power, respectively, during the duty cycle. The time (T U ) of the first phase of the duty cycle is shorter than the time (T L ) of the second phase of said duty cycle. Further, the present invention relates to a system for controlling a heating-up period of an oven. Moreover, the present invention relates to a corresponding oven.
