    6 3 relays (3) and a control current transformer (5) are fed from the main connection block (1). The main circuit is protected by 30 amp t fuses. The transformer (400v to 24v) is primarily secured with t0,2 a (4). A boil dry protection mechanism (in the form of a float switch) (7) is included in the...

    7 1.2.1 boil dry protection fig. 2 - float switch the boil dry protection mechanism consists of a float switch which monitors the water level approximately halfway up the tank above the elements. If there is insufficient water present in the tank, then the float (1) hangs down. If the tank is filled...
