Zusammenfassung:A device for heating a fluid, including at least one electrically conductive pipeline for accommodating the fluid, and at least one voltage source connected to a respective pipeline. The voltage source is designed to generate an electric current in the connected pipeline which heats the pipeline in order to heat the fluid. Each voltage source has M outer conductors, where M is a natural number greater than or equal to two. Each voltage source is designed to provide an AC voltage at the outer conductors, wherein those AC voltages are phase-shifted through 2π/M with respect to one another, and wherein the outer conductors are electrically conductively connected to the pipeline such that a star circuit is formed.
