Abstract (en)

The present invention describes a circuit arrangement (2000) for controlling the power of a resistive load of a household appliance such as a top heater (4150), a bottom heater (4200) and a grill (4100). The power is supplied asymmetrically to the respective resistive loads by using a diode (2120) that is e.g. serially connected to one of the resistive loads. In this manner, a simple configuration is provided that can be used in household appliances. According to measurements it saves power and is pricewise and technically competitive in comparison to electromechanical thermostats.
