 Protection For Coils / Windings   PDF

The F11 is now F20A or F20B

F13, F20, F23
This thermostat operates as a thermal cutout. A thermally sensitive bimetal snap-element with single contacts either opens or closes an electrical 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

Benefits
- Small dimensions
- Shock and vibration tested
- Leadframe version
- Tested for audio, video applications (EN 60065)

 > 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.
