In the present article the question of simulation of nonstationary process of heat transport in a sensitive element of the thermoelectric transformer with an uninsulated seal is considered. The model allows defining and comparing the heating time of a thermocouple junction up to the given temperature for different types of thermocouples. In this article the values obtained by means of modelling the heat time of different thermocouples and also a temperature field in a sensitive element of the thermoelectric transformer are given.
