Zusammenfassung:A system, and related method, employable with an electronic heater that includes, in one embodiment, a power converter coupled to the electronic heater via a disconnect switch configured to conduct to deliver an output voltage produced by the power converter to the electronic heater to control a temperature thereof. The system also includes a current source coupled across the electronic heater, and a power converter controller configured to adjust the output voltage produced by the power converter responsive to a test current produced by the current source when the disconnect switch is not conducting.
