Abstract

An electric power control device is composed of plural resistor loads (1.sub.0 -1.sub.4) the heat-generating powers of which are different from one another, switch means (3.sub.0 -3.sub.4) connected in series to each of the resistor loads and adapted for the ON-OFF control of an ac power (2), and means (4.sub.0 -4.sub.4) for ON-OFF controlling the switch means so as to turn on or turn off the ac power and also for selectively controlling the individual resistor loads so as to adjust the heat-generating powers of all of the resistor loads in accordance with their corresponding desired heat-generating powers.
