Temperature Limiter "Discostat", automatic reset
The temperature limiter 161 001 with automatic reset is used to control the temperature of electrical devices with three-phase connection. Typical applications are e.g. water heaters and storage heaters.
A bimetal disc is used as a temperature sensing element. The disc is pressed directly against the mounting plate of the limiter and can therefore react quickly to changes in temperature. As soon as the preset temperature is reached, the bimetal disc operates and simultaneously opens all 3 electrical contacts. On cooling the disc snaps back into the original position, closing the circuits again.
- All three phases switched simultaneously
- Fast thermal response, independent of mounting position
- Various types of terminals and fixing
- Long life
