FIELD: electrical engineering. SUBSTANCE: method involves heating of bimetal strips in phase nodes. of thermal protective gear by means of main heaters inserted in circuits of phase conductors and by additional heaters inserted in neutral-wire circuit. Heaters are made of bifilar-coiled wire wound on insulating formers of bimetal strips. EFFECT: enhanced sensitivity, simplified design, reduced size of device; reduced voltage drop across heater. 3 cl, 7 dwg
