 Protection For Coils / Windings    PDF

B12 / B13 (Double Contacts)
This thermostat operates as a thermal cutout. A thermally sensitive bimetal snap-element with double contacts either opens or closes an elecrtical circuit by switching at a pre-set response temperature. Reset follows automatically after a considerable drop in temperature.

Applications Single Phase Motors, Generators, Convertors, Transformers, Pumps, Heating Elements, Signal Transmitters, Fire Detectors, Magnets, Relays, Chokes, Coils, Power Supplies, Inverters

 > Heating by current

The diagram is measured with a thermal control without any insulation in an oil bath.

Attention:
The heating depends on the thermal conduction of the control to the equipment or part which should be
protected.
