The thermal protectors (TOPs) are temperature dependent switching devices which operate at a predefined temperature. They are used for over-temperature protection in various applications like windings of electric motors, transformers, Heat Sinks of electronic equipments etc.
The TOPs can practically fit into the smallest motor, transformer or any other equipment. Whenever the equipment gets hot and the switching temperature of the TOP is attained, the TOP trips thus protecting the equipment against overheating & burning. When the equipment cools down to a safe temperature, the TOP resets automatically and the normal function of the equipment is resumed. Its automatic operation makes it a fail-safe and tamper-proof device.
