What other safety features do convection heaters have besides overheat protection?

Convection heaters are usually equipped with a highly sensitive tip-over protection switch. When the heater accidentally tilts beyond the preset safety angle, the switch will respond immediately and automatically cut off the power supply, thereby stopping the heating process. This feature greatly reduces the risk of fire caused by the heater tipping over and coming into contact with flammable items. The tip-over protection switch is equipped with a sophisticated tip-over sensor that can monitor the posture of the heater in real time. Once the heater tilts, the ball or similar mechanism inside the sensor will move quickly, changing the original circuit state, thereby triggering the switch action and cutting off the power supply. For users with children or pets at home, the tip-over protection function is particularly important because it can effectively prevent the heater from tipping over due to accidental collision or playing.
Convection heaters also have a leakage protection function, which is achieved through a built-in leakage protection device. The device can monitor the leakage in the circuit in real time. Once it detects that the leakage current exceeds the safety threshold, it will immediately cut off the power supply to prevent electric shock accidents. The leakage protection device detects leakage by comparing the inflow and outflow currents in the circuit. If there is a difference between the two, and the difference value exceeds the preset safety range, the device will determine that it is a leakage and quickly cut off the power supply. The leakage protection function is essential to ensure the personal safety of users, especially in humid environments or when electrical equipment is aging. Leakage protection can effectively prevent electric shock accidents caused by leakage.
The importance of grounding measures is fully considered in the design of convection heaters. Through a reliable grounding connection, it can be ensured that the casing will not be charged when an electrical fault occurs in the electrical equipment, thereby preventing users from being electrocuted by touching the charged casing. Grounding measures connect the metal casing of the electrical equipment to the earth to form a low-resistance conductive path. Once an electrical fault occurs inside the electrical equipment and the casing is charged, the current will flow into the earth through the grounding wire instead of through the human body, thereby ensuring the safety of the user. Grounding measures are one of the basic requirements for electrical safety and are important for high-power electrical appliances such as convection heaters.
The convection heater is equipped with a high-precision temperature control system that can monitor and adjust the operating temperature of the heater in real time. Users can set the target temperature as needed, and the heater will automatically adjust the heating power to maintain the set temperature range. The temperature control system monitors the operating temperature of the heater in real time through the built-in temperature sensor and transmits the temperature signal to the control unit. The control unit adjusts the heating power of the heater according to the preset temperature range and the target temperature set by the user to achieve precise temperature control. The temperature control system not only improves the comfort of the heater, but also avoids safety problems caused by temperature runaway. For example, when unattended, the temperature control system can prevent the heater from overheating and causing a fire.
Convection heaters also have an overload protection function. When the current in the circuit exceeds the rated value, the overload protection device will automatically cut off the power supply to prevent the heater from being damaged or causing a fire due to overload. The overload protection device determines whether an overload occurs by monitoring the current in the circuit. Once it detects that the current exceeds the rated value, the device will immediately act and cut off the power supply. The overload protection function is one of the important measures to ensure the safe operation of electrical equipment. For convection heaters, overload protection can prevent the problem of excessive current caused by long-term use or circuit failure.
