Abstract
A method of controlling a power feed to a load (L), wherein the load (L) can be connected to an apparatus () for the power feed and the power fed to the load (L) has clock-controlled signals. The method includes the steps of: detecting a temperature prevailing in the apparatus () by means of at least one temperature sensor (), providing a first safety function if the detected temperature is not greater than a predetermined first excessive temperature, providing a second safety function if the detected temperature is greater than the predetermined first excessive temperature, and again providing the first safety function if the detected temperature falls and reaches the first excessive temperature, wherein the first safety function includes constant cyclic clock control of the power fed to the load and the second safety function includes temporary cyclic clock control of the power fed to the load.
