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

non-self-resetting-thermal cut-out: thermal cut-out that requires a manual operation for resetting, or replacement of a part, in order to restore the current.NOTE Manual operation includes disconnection of the appliance from the supply mains. The thermal cut-out is equipped with a temperature-sensitive component, typically a bimetallic strip or a thermistor, which reacts to heat. As the…

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

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 “self-resetting thermal cut-out”

self-resetting thermal cut-out: thermal cut-out that automatically restores the current after the relevant part of the appliance has cooled down sufficiently In the definition there is a clear mention, when the temperature is cooled to a certain degree, in fact, its intention is to control the temperature is not too high, when the temperature is…

How are the creepage distances and electrical clearances of PTC heating element surfaces determined?

We are discussing here the second structure of the PTC heating element, PTC heating element structure please refer to the explanation of its definition. How is the creepage distance of the functional insulation at the location of the red circle in Figure 1 determined? We all know that NOTE 1 of TABLE 18 section has…
