Power consumption reduction of an electric shower using a PWM based power supply

Abstract

This paper shows the use of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) applied to an electrics shower for power consumption reduction during its operation to ensure temperature output control much more efficient than the used nowadays by the devices. For the proposed system simulation we used an Analysis of Electronic Power Software PSIM then we build a test prototype which we verified the results obtained in the software simulation. The Arduino Platform was used for trigger control of pulse with modulation as well as the use of other power electronical components.
