Motor Protectors
PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient)
Motor Protectors
PTC Thermistors
act as thermal
protectors for electrical motors. They are
available with or without an insulated sleeve
and have flexible connecting leads. PTC
thermistors have a non-linear resistance/
temperature response.
At a specified
temperature the resistance changes rapidly to
a very high value.
