How Heating Elements Work
Electrical power turns into heat through resistance.
1) Input
Apply voltage V across a resistive element with resistance R.
2) Power
Electrical power converts to heat: P = V² / R (or I²R).
3) Transfer
Heat moves via conduction, convection, and radiation to the target.

FAQ
How do I size power?
Estimate heat loss of your system and add margin. Use P = V²/R or P = I²R. Verify with a thermal sensor and PID control.
Do I need a thermostat?
Yes for most alloys. PTC elements self-limit, but protection is still recommended for fault cases.
What certifications are available?
Options include CE, UL, and RoHS. Availability depends on voltage and construction.
