What is a thermal protector? Why do electrical devices need thermal protectors?
Thermal protectors are required for electrical equipment to prevent overheating. Potential hazards such as fire, property damage and other dangers are avoided through thermal protection.
Thermal protector: Definition
A special type of thermostat includes a thermal protector. When the temperature around an appliance rises, becomes too high and prevents it from working properly, the thermal protector will immediately terminate the circuit to protect the appliance. After the electrical appliance has cooled to a safe level, the connection may automatically close, allowing it to function properly again.
When does the thermal protector work?
When electrical equipment is in operation, its temperature is maintained by a device called a thermal protector. During operation, electrical equipment such as computers, printers and peripherals may become very hot. Thermal protectors prevent equipment from overheating and damage. Thermal protection is often required for electrical equipment when used in environments where temperatures exceed 65°F (18°C).
Characteristics of Thermal Protectors
There are several key considerations when selecting thermal protection for electrical equipment.
These devices provide an effective seal, which may help prevent product failure due to the vacuum impregnation process.
Compact design:The metal housing of Saftty’s thermal protection switches is profiled. The motor’s thermal protection switch is easily integrated into the motor’s coil and, due to its tiny size, the temperature detection is more precise.
Thermal conductivity and sensitivity to high temperatures:The metal housing of the safe thermal protection switch can withstand coil forming pressures of up to 50 kg.Saftty’s electronic thermal protection switches have a great competitive advantage in the market and are suitable for use in certain areas due to their rated operating temperature which can reach 250 degrees.
Conclusion
To stop overheating and to provide overheat protection for electrical equipment in various industries, safe thermal protectors can be used in electrical equipment.
