Application Guide for Thermal Over-Temperature Devices

 

T1 Thermal Fuse Devices

The T1 Over-Temperature Device is a eutectic switch with a pre-specified melt temperature. The “one shot” characteristic is useful in alerting operators to identify and remedy the cause of the over-temperature condition in the course of T1 fuse replacement.

UL/CSA listed rating of 15 amps up to 277 VAC

 

Single Phase

Power Contactor

Multi-Phase

 

T2 Bi-Metal Switch

The T2 Over-Temperature Device is a slow make/slow break bimetallic thermostat with a pre-specified calibration temperature. The slow break characteristic coupled with the push button reset feature is extremely useful when a low liquid level occurs.

The T2 Over-Temperature Device is electrically installed with a holding circuit in conjunction with a power contactor to energize the heater. The T2 must never be used to directly switch heater power.

UL/CSA listed rating of 6 amps@120VAC or 4 amps@240VAC

Replacement Thermal Protection Accessories

Various construction methods are used in the manufacture of Teflon® Quartz and Metal Tube Over-the-Side Immersion Heaters.
The T1 or T2 Thermal Protection Devices are matched to the item they protect for lead length and mounting style.
