17AM-X series thermal protector (Thermostat) is a current sensitive and temperature automatic responsedevice.It is connected in series to the winding of motor. The protector changes with the temperature of winding and current of a motor. When the heat generated by the increasing temperature and current from the protected appliances transmits to bimetal disc and reaching the temperature value of scheduled movement,the bimetal disc will trip immediately So that the contact will be switched offand the circuit will be cut off. When the temperature of motor winding decreases to the rated temperature value of reposition, bimetal disc will return to its initial state, the moving contact will beclosed and the circuit will be on. 17AM-X series thermal protector has advantages of trip current sensitively and control temperature precisely. It is applied in various Induction Motor, UniversalMotor, transformers,rectipers,electric tools, automobilemotor, electro-thermal appliances and etc. Contact Capacity: 125/250V AC 16A Temperature Range: 50-180C Product Certification UL; CQC; TUV; CE
