Power distribution system gets new surge arrester
A new surge arrester offers protection against the massive, transient overvoltages believed to be responsible for over 30 per cent of all damage to electronic equipment.
The resistance of these heating systems increase sharply when the desired temperature is reached, thereby reducing power and maintaining a thermal window.
PTC Ceramics finds the most efficient solutions for its customers by designing the elements according to the customers' needs using materials with the best transfer rates.
The singular design features provide heating without the need for external electronic or bimetal thermal controls.
The units are VDE and UL approved, in applications ranging from hair dryers and room deodorants to preheaters for valves and pipe heaters.
Temperature ranges are as high as 240C with sizes up to 35mm wide and 80mm long.
PTC Ceramics prides itself on working to help its customers reach design solutions with careful product testing.
