Abstract
The thermoelectric device includes a first set of identical unitary thereto-electric systems, each system including at least one thermocouple and the first set has at least one faulty unitary thermoelectric system. It further has devices for detecting functional unitary thermoelectric systems of the first set of unitary thermoelectric systems, and devices designed to electrically connect a second set of functional unitary thermoelectric systems chosen from the first set of unitary thermoelectric systems, in the form of an electric circuit, so that all the unitary thermoelectric systems of the electric circuit have the same current flowing through them.
