Abstract (en)

Covering apparatus (1), which comprises a plurality of covering blades (10) arranged in succession, and heating means (14) comprising multiple electrical heating devices (15), each of which connected to a corresponding covering blade (10). The covering apparatus (1) also comprises multiple control units (17), each of which electrically connected to a corresponding group of electrical heating devices (15), and configured for generating a corresponding power supply signal (SA(t)) adapted to power supply the electrical heating devices (15) and having intervals with lower power absorption and intervals with higher power absorption. The intervals with higher power absorption of the power supply signal (SA(t)) of each of the control units (17) occur in correspondence with the intervals with lower power absorption of the power supply signal (SA(t)) of at least another of the control units (17), in a manner such to limit the overall power (P(t)) absorbed by the heating means (14).
