An over-voltage control device for a clothes dryer including an electrical heater coupled to an alternating current power supply is provided. The device includes a switch device adapted to connect and disconnect the power supply from the heater, and a micro-controller coupled to the switch device. The switch device is responsive to said micro-controller, and the micro-controller is configured to operate said switch to maintain an effective heater voltage below a predetermined threshold to avoid tripping of a circuit breaker.

Dispositif de protection contre les surtensions pour sécheuses comprenant un générateur de chaleur électrique raccordé à une source d'alimentation en courant alternatif. Le dispositif de protection comprend un commutateur conçu pour permettre et interrompre l'alimentation électrique du générateur de chaleur ainsi qu'un microcontrôleur relié au commutateur. Le commutateur réagit aux signaux du microcontrôleur et le microcontrôleur est configuré pour faire fonctionner le commutateur de façon à maintenir la tension du générateur de chaleur à un niveau efficace, sous un seuil prédéterminé, afin d'éviter le déclenchement d'un disjoncteur.
