Materials used in heating elements have a relatively high electrical resistivity, which is a measure of the material's ability to resist electric current. The electrical resistance that some amount of element material will have is defined b… See more

Resistance wires are very long and slender resistors that have a circular cross-section. Like conductive wire, the diameter of resistance wire is often measured with a gauge system, such as American Wire Gauge (A… See more

Heating elements are generally classified in one of three frameworks: suspended, embedded, or supported.
• In a suspended design, a resistance heater is attached at two or more points to normally eit… See more

Materials used in heating elements are selected for a variety of mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. Due to the wide range of operating temperatures that these elements withstand, temperature dependenci… See more

Heating elements find application in a wide range of domestic, commercial, and industrial settings:
• Home Appliances: Common household appliances such as ovens, toasters, electric stoves, … See more
