THERMIK TEMPERATURE SENSOR IN SOUTH AFRICA

APPLICATION   Thermal Protectors (TP) of series 06 (normally closed) and 08 (normally open) are used in numerous electric appliances e.g. in motors, transformers and ballasts. These TPs characterize their ability to tolerate higher current load in spite of their small design. Furthermore, they are suitable to be installed into the windings, because they are very pressure- and impregnation resistant. DESIGN These switches are equipped with a high capacity contact mechanism, wherein the bimetallic disc can move freely, without the current flowing through it. An additional spring disc maintains constant contact pressure until reaching its switching temperature. The connecting lead wires are welded on, to ensure the use of the switch under high temperature and strong currents without problems. Versions: S06 / S08 with insulation cap C06 / C08 without insulation cap OPERATION If the rated switching temperature of the bimetallic disc is reached, this suddenly snaps over and opens (C06/S06) or closes the contacts (C06/C08). After cooling down to under its resetting temperature, the contact mechanism returns automatically to its initial position.
