CYGM 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.
