Abstract
An aerosol-generating device is provided, including a power supply; at least one heater; a cavity configured to receive an aerosol-generating article; a first electrode and a second electrode spaced apart from the first electrode such that at least a portion of the article is disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode when the article is received within the cavity; and a controller configured to control a supply of power from the power supply to the heater for heating the article when the article is received within the cavity, the controller being further configured to measure an electrical load between the first and second electrodes when the article is received within the cavity, and the controller being further configured to terminate the supply of power to the at least one heater when the measured electrical load exceeds a predetermined threshold.
