YGM Motor Protectors PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) Thermistors are designed to act as thermal protectors for electrical motors. They offer rapid response protection for electrical machines and are compact for easy assembly into windings. Available with or without an insulated sleeve and featuring flexible connecting leads, these PTC thermistors exhibit a non-linear resistance/temperature response. At a specified temperature, their resistance rapidly increases to a very high value, enabling effective fail-safe circuitry. When a given temperature (nominal response temperature NAT) is exceeded, the circuit can be switched off through a relay or amplifier. They are particularly suited for monitoring motor windings and in simple fail-safe circuits.
