A flexible heater 200 includes at least one hot wire resistive element 215 and a thermally insulating and electrically insulating flex holding material (201, 202) surrounding the resistive element (215) for holding the resistive element (215). A temperature sensor (225) having at least a portion embedded in the holding material is operable for measuring a temperature of at least one location along a length of the resistive element (215). A monitored flexible heater system (600) includes a flexible heater (610) including at least one resistive element, a thermally insulating and electrically insulating flex holding material surrounding the resistive element and a temperature sensor (615) having at least a portion embedded in the holding material operable for measuring a temperature of at least one location along a length of the resistive element. The system (600) includes a temperature measurement system (620) coupled to the temperature sensor (615) for measuring a temperate at the location, a processor (625) coupled to the temperature measurement system to receive data including the temperature, and a circuit breaking switch (630) positioned in a power path that delivers power to the flex heater, wherein the processor (625) is operable to provide control signals to control a state of the switch, wherein the control signals are operable to open the switch (630) when the temperature exceeds a predetermined temperature. |
