Abstract
An energy application apparatus applies energy to an object. An energy application unit applies energy to the object, wherein the energy application unit is adapted to use electrical current for applying the energy. A current measuring unit measures the electrical current used by the energy application unit and provides a signal being indicative of whether the energy is applied to the object based on the measured electrical current. The signal can be used by, for instance, a monitoring unit and/or a display unit for using and/or indicating the information whether energy is actually applied or not, without requiring a direct communication between the energy application unit and the monitoring unit and/or the display unit.
