Planar electrode system

摘要

Planar electrode system and method of manufacturing same, comprising at least one foil-type, electrically conductive planar electrode, a connection for connecting it to an external operating apparatus/control apparatus, and also at least one substrate layer, protective layer and/or insulation layer arranged on the surface of the planar electrode, which system comprises a foil-type planar electrode construction fitted into a continuous foil construction and comprising a least one foil-type electrode (101, 111), which planar electrode construction is fitted to operate both as a planar sensor, in which case it can be connected via a sensor connection (103) to a sensor control apparatus (SC101), and in electrical heating action, in which case it can be connected via an electrical heating connection (113) to an electrical heating control apparatus (HC111).
