Function and purpose - Normally closed temperature control switch designed to provide automatic overtemperature protection for electrical appliances. When the set temperature is reached, the switch opens to cut power and prevent overheating. Compatibility and applications - Suitable for a range of equipment including electric water heaters, water boilers, electric ovens, warm air heaters, washing machines, fryers, and other kitchen equipment. - Easy to integrate into existing wiring to add safety without major redesign. Key specifications - Action type: NC (normally closed) - Control temperature range: 30 to 110 C - Electrical rating: 250 V, 16 A How it works - The contact remains closed during normal operation, allowing power to flow to the heating element. - When temperature reaches the set point within 30-110 C, the contact opens to disconnect power, providing overheating protection. Practical use scenarios - Electric water heater: installed to monitor heating element temperature and prevent water overheating, enhancing safety and component longevity. - Electric oven or fryer: protects heating elements from excessive temperatures that could damage components or create fire risk. - Washing machine and other kitchen equipment: safeguards internal heating circuits from overheating, reducing wear and risk of failure. Notes - Ensure proper electrical wiring and adherence to safety standards when installing. - This device is rated for 250 V and 16 A and is suitable for compatible equipment within that electrical specification.
