This invention relates to an insert intended for electrical furnaces and of the type that comprises, on one hand, an insulating shell having an outside and an inside having a rotationally symmetrical, e.g., cylindrical shape, and on the other hand a heater element that is arranged inside the shell and extends a plurality of turns in a continuous loop having an overall shape corresponding to the rotationally symmetrical shape of the shell. According to the invention, the wire loop comprises a plurality of spaced-apart bends, which divide the same into a plurality of individual sections of limited length to which occurring thermal expansion is isolated locally. In a preferred embodiment, the bends are U-shaped to impart the wire loop meander shape. In an additional aspect, the invention also relates to a heater element as such.
