Discostat Limiter

Thermal Cut-out manual reset

Tmax 150°C / Imax 16A / switches 3 phases simultaneously / orientation independent

Available on request.

Properly installed, the temperature limiter type 162 001 may be used to control electrical devices with three-phase contact for example in hot water appliances and thermal heaters. 

A vaulted bimetal disc is used as temperature sensing element. The disc is placed in direct contact with the mounting plate therefore reacting quickly to changes in temperature. Upon reaching the preset temperature the bimetal disc operates and opens the electrical circuit. The limiter has to be reset manually by pressing the reset tab.
