Do the distillers contain a circuit breaker?
|
No. UL requires that we use a fuse that protects against overheating and power surges. A circuit breaker does not protect against overheating and would only protect against electrical issues. Megahome distillers use a thermal switch to turn the distiller on and off and a thermal fuse as back-up for absolute safety and protection according to UL standards.
|
No. Circuit breakers are not the appropriate device to be used in an appliance that heats up. It does not offer the protection and function needed for a counter top water distiller.
|
No. Love distillers contain two thermal switches. One that turns the unit on and off and another acts as a backup. Love distillers are not UL approved. A thermal switch only protects against overheating but does not cover electrical surges and electrical issues that only a fuse can in a heating appliance.
