METHOD FOR MEASURING THE CURRENT CONSUMPTION OF AN ELECTRIC RADIATOR IN A VEHICLE VENTILATION, HEATING OR AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM

摘要

Method for measuring the total current consumption IT of at least one heating element (12) of an electric radiator (10) in a vehicle ventilation, heating or air conditioning system, characterised in that it involves: a) providing power to the at least one heating element (12) for it to operate at maximum power, by operating a switch; b) cutting the power supply to the at least one heating element (12) switched on in step a), by turning the switch off; c) again providing power to the at least one heating element (12) and measuring an electrical quantity of said heating element (12) related directly or indirectly to the total current consumption IT of said element (12).
