Clause 3 – How to understand the definition of “protective device”

Byforest

The standard emphasizes “abnormal operation” here. Only devices that operate under “abnormal operation” conditions can be defined as protective devices. Therefore, there are many types of protective devices, including overheating protection devices, overcurrent protection devices, and overpressure protection devices. Overheating protection devices include the thermal link, non- self-resetting thermal cut-out, self-resetting thermal cut-out, thermal cut-out,…

Clause 3 – How to understand the definition of “thermal link”

Byforest

thermal link: thermal cut-out which operates only once and requires partial or complete replacement It is a temperature sensing device, but it can only be operated once, when the temperature is higher than its set value, it will disconnect, and after disconnection, the current can not pass through, so as to play the role of…

Clause 3 – How to understand the definition of “thermal cut-out”

Byforest

thermal-cut-out: device which during abnormal operation limits the temperature of the controlled part by automatically opening the circuit, or by reducing the current, and is constructed so that its setting cannot be altered by the user. There are three key provisions here. First, the thermal cut-out is a heat-sensing element, second, it can only be…
