Classification: CPC H  F | IPC F  H

Claim 12:
13. A thermoelectric assembly for powering a first electromagnetic valve of a cooking appliance, the first electromagnetic valve being configured to close a passage of gas to a first burner of the cooking appliance, the thermoelectric assembly comprising:
a main current circuit associated with the first electromagnetic valve, the main current circuit comprising:
a thermocouple configured to detect a flame in the first burner;
a cable connected to the thermocouple and configured to electrically connect the thermocouple with the first electromagnetic valve;
a transistor electrically connected to the cable and configured to de-energize the first electromagnetic valve;
a connection module including a power supply connected to the transistor, the power supply comprising:
first and second input terminals configured to be connected to an external energy source;
a rectifier configured to transform an alternating current of the external energy source into direct current; and
a first resistive block connected between the first input terminal and the rectifier, the resistive block being configured to minimize the current circulating through the power supply;

wherein the main current circuit includes a discharge resistor of the transistor of the main current circuit connected in parallel to the transistor of the main current circuit and configured to cause an opening of the transistor of the main current circuit when the transistor of the main current circuit is no longer powered by the power supply.
