Portage Electric is offering a new addition to the Valstat Series™ of thermal controls. The new series is a line of self-hold thermal protectors designed as a cost effective solution for thermal protection of motor, transformer, lighting, and appliance applications. In a fault condition, the Model JSC opens the electrical circuit and an integrated heat source prevents the thermal protector from reclosing until the power source is removed and the unit is allowed to cool. The thermal protector then resets allowing continued operation. Self-hold devices allow for the functionality of automatic reset devices with additional safety enhancements.
Features
Snap action device for quick break switching action
Conductive bimetal construction; the bimetallic element carries the circuit current for maximum sensitivity under short circuit conditions
Available in two resistance values of the bimetal element
Preset calibration temperature; not adjustable in the field
Available with same end termination (JSCA) or opposite end termination (JSCB)
Case electrically alive, insulating sleeving is available
Available with various lead wires and termination. Please consult factory for options
