Can any of you oldtimers think of any product that had temperature sensing
in the AC plug? Preferably from before 2011.
I suspect it's an old and "obvious" idea that's been used at various
times by various manufacturers.
Home microwave ovens were first offered in the late 1960's. They drew
enough power for long enough to overheat kitchen outlets. At least one
brand had a thermostatic cutout in the plug to prevent damage.
My mother had an ancient turkey roaster; old enough that the cord was
woven fabric instead of rubber or plastic. It had a thermal cutout in
the plug.
