View:29Thermal protectorIt is a device used to protect electrical equipment from overheating or overloading. It is a temperature-sensitive electronic component that monitors the temperature of the equipment and cuts off the circuit when the temperature exceeds a predetermined threshold to prevent equipment damage, fire or other dangerous situations. So, what issues should we pay attention to when purchasing a thermal protector? In response to this question, let the thermal protector manufacturer give us a detailed introduction!
Here are some important questions to consider when choosing a thermal protector:
Temperature Range: Make sure the selectedThermal protectorThe trigger temperature range matches your application needs. The function of a thermal protector is to cut off the circuit when a specific temperature is reached to prevent overheating. Therefore, choose a trigger temperature range that fits your device's operating temperature range.
Load Current: Determine the load current of your device and select a thermal protector that can handle this load current. Make sure the rated current of the thermal protector is equal to or greater than the load current of the device.
Action type: Thermal protectors can be divided into self-resetting and non-self-resetting types. Self-resetting types will automatically reset when the temperature drops to a safe range, while non-self-resetting types require manual reset. Choose the appropriate action type based on your application requirements.
Installation method: The thermal protector can be installed in different ways such as surface mounting, plug-in mounting or rail mounting. Make sure the installation method of the selected thermal protector is compatible with your equipment.
Trigger Speed: Some applications may require a faster trigger speed and quicker circuit breaking to prevent the device from overheating. Select the trigger speed that fits your application needs.
Environmental Conditions: Consider the environmental conditions where the thermal protector will be placed, such as humidity, chemical exposure, etc. Select the protection grade and material appropriate for the environmental conditions.
Certification and standards: Make sure the selected thermal protector meets relevant safety standards and certifications to ensure its quality and performance. Common standards include UL, CE, etc.
