FIELD: engines and pumps.
SUBSTANCE: control method includes the following stages: measurement of voltage and current fed to a plug in "on" position of an electronic circuit breaker (M); generation of analogue signals (AS1, AS2) of reading, representing a time integral of voltage and current; generation of analogue reference signals (R1, R2); comparison of reading signals (AS1, AS2) with appropriate reference signals (R1, R2) and variation of appropriate control words (W1, W2) in order to minimise difference between signals (AS1, AS2) of reading and reference signals (R1, R2); putting the electronic circuit breaker (M) into on-off position after a period of time serially with the appropriate glow plug (GP) between outputs of the DC supply source (B) and calculation of average values of the measured voltage (V) and current (I) on the basis of values of the specified control words (W1, W2) in the start and in the end of the "on" position of the electronic circuit breaker (M). Also a device is disclosed that realises the method.
EFFECT: control of energy quantity sent to a glow plug.
