Flexible Element Solutions
Wire X-ray
PTC Resistance vs Temperature Positive Temperature Coefficient wire. As the temperature of the element wire increases the resistance increases.


NTC Resistance vs Temperature Negative Temperature Coefficient separation layer. As the temperature of the layer increases, the resistance decreases.


The controller can monitor these changes in resistance and actively set and maintain the appliance temperature.
