YGM Motor Protectors

PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient)

 Motor Protectors

PTC Thermistors act as thermal Features

protectors for electrical motors. They are • Rapid response protection
available with or without an insulated sleeve for electrical machines
• Compact size for easy
and have flexible connecting leads. PTC assembly into windings
thermistors have a non-linear resistance/ • Silvered copper leads
temperature response. At a specified
temperature the resistance changes rapidly to
a very high value.
