ABSTRACT:
An electric blanket using an AC to DC converter circuit either alone or in combination with a shield mesh that surrounds the heating wire to substantially reduce the electromagnetic field produced by the heating wire. The electric blanket has a heating element having a conductive wire and a shielding component, in which the conductive wire is placed between the shielding component to substantially encase the conductive wire. To discharge any build up of electrical charges, the shielding component is coupled to the ground. The electric blanket also has a control device for use with the alternating electrical current. The control device has a temperature control circuit that controls the current flow pursuant to the temperature setting. A converter device used in the electric blanket is electrically connected to the outputs of the control device. The converter device includes a rectifier circuit connected to the control device and has output terminals to generate rectified current from the alternating electrical current; and a filter circuit connected across the output terminals of the rectifier circuit to provide direct electrical current to the wire of the heating element. The output of the filter circuit is provided to the conductive wire to generate heat with substantially reduced electromagnetic field.
