Thermal circuit protectors utilize a bimetallic strip electrically in series with the circuit. The heat generated by the current during an overload deforms the bimetallic strip and trips the breaker. Thermal protectors have a significant advantage over fuses in that they can be reset after tripping.
They can also be used as the main ON/OFF switch for the equipment being protected.
Thermal breakers are used in many applications including:
- Marine
- Transportation
- Power Supplies
- Transformers and Rectifiers
- Motor Starters
- Power Strips
- Audio/Visual Equipment
- Test and Measurement Equipment
- Security and Fire Alarms
- Industrial Controls
- Medical Equipment
- Carling Technologies offers three types of circuit protection devices:
- thermal circuit protectors
- hydraulic/magnetic circuit protectors/breakers
- equipment leakage circuit breakers.
