Abstract
The device includes a thermoelectric module provided with a thermocouple. Said thermocouple includes a first and second leg which are made of different thermoelectric materials, electrically connected by a connecting element configured to deform according to the temperature thereof so as to assume: a first deformation position in which the first and second legs are electrically connected in series solely by means of the connecting element; and a second deformation position in which the connecting element is in electrical contact with a shunt contact pad of the device, said shunt contact pad being made of a material, the electrical conductivity of which is greater than the electric conductivity of the connecting element and of the first and second legs. The device also includes a load, the electrical resistance of which is lower than the electrical resistance of the thermoelectric module, said load being electrically connected to the shunt contact pad.
