Temperature detector

Particularities

Our own plant produces high quality, customized temperature detectors; the functionality of every single switch is multiple tested and thus 100% reliability is guaranteed. The switches are VDE or UL certified.

We offer a wide range of commercial goods for standard solutions.Area of application

Our temperature detectors are used wherever protection against over temperatures is required/necessary.

Typical applications include:

• protection of primary windings in transformers
• winding protection in small electric motors
• general temperature protection of small electric equipment
• switch-on of cooling fans
• signalling
• etc.

Function

The temperature detectors operate independent from any current supply. Temperature detection is effected by means of a bimetal disc which is dimensioned in accordance with the required cut-off temperature. When this fixed cut-off temperature is reached, the switch opens (type P) or closes (type O) the electric circuit of the device.
