Description
Due to the positive temperature coefficient (PTC) ceramic chips, XTEND elements stop drawing current when the PTC reaches 240°C. This is an attribute of PTC and does not require a thermostat.
When a geyser bursts or empties for any other reason, XTEND elements will reach 240°C and stop drawing power. The air inside is insulated by the geyser and has a low thermal capacity. This means it takes many minutes for the XTEND element to cool down and turn on again. When it does, it does so for a very short time, reaches 240°C, and turns off again. Each of these ON/OFF cycles is a dry-burn cycle.
The same applies to limescale build-up. In this case, XTEND elements can be removed, cleaned, and reinstalled to restore 100% efficiency. A standard element would burn out.
This property, along with the design of the 316 (marine-grade) stainless steel casing, makes XTEND elements extremely hardwearing.
