Coil of the cooking heater overheats and burn out very often?

Home Improvement Asked on December 24, 2020

The coil usually burn at the points circled in red near the power connection. We have 240V electric supply.which the wire support it says.we don’t have switch for ON-OFF for heater,we just use hooking.Should I use MCB instead of simple switch will it reduce sparking.
Please don’t tell me to increase the number of turn it will definitely reduce the heat of the heater.
Thank you, so much for your precious time.

One Answer

Too much current is causing the Nichrome coil to overheat.The current can be reduced by lowering the voltage or increasing the resistance . Resistance can be increased by adding to the length of the coil. Localized portions of the coil will overheat if two of more loops are too close so the heat can not escape as fast as necessary.
