Structural Classification Of Thermal Fuse organic type metal shell temperature fuse is a combination, the composition of the structure are: 1. Pin (A), 2. Sealed resin, 3. Insulating ceramic, 4. Fine spring, 5. Star reed, 6. Coarse spring, 7. wafer, 8. temperature sensing block, 9. The housing, 10 Pin (B). When the temperature insurance is in normal operation, the current flows from the left lead to the sliding contact and flows through the metal housing to the right lead. When the external temperature reaches the predetermined temperature, organic matter can melt melt, the compression spring will become loose. That is, spring expansion, sliding contact (slidingcontact) and the left side of the separation. The circuit will cut off, the current between the sliding contact and the left lead is cut off. the temperature fuse will fail and can not be used again. 2, easy to melt alloy wire thermal fuse has ceramic shell and square shell, its temperature sensing element is a fusible gold. Product structure: is the axis of the symmetrical lead, fusible alloy wire, and resin mixture and insulated porcelain tube, plastic shell. When the temperature rise of the heating element is set to a temperature, the resin mixture begins to liquefy, when the melting point is reached, with the help of the resin mixture (increasing the surface tension of the melted alloy), has been molten alloy wire in the resin mixture under the action of tension, quickly to both ends of the wire as the center shrink into a spherical, and thus permanently cut off the circuit. Technical Parameters And terminology Of Thermal Fuses (1) Rated operating temperature (Tf): The temperature fuse is tested according to the standard method to change the temperature of its conductive state. According to IEC6091 standards-based security provisions, the temperature fuse must be operated within the rated operating temperature + 0 / -10 C (the Japan Electrical Supplies Act provides a tolerance range of ± 7 C). (2) Operating temperature Found: The temperature fuse is heated in the silicone oil tank at a rate of 0.5-1 C per minute, detection current is less than the fusing temperature measured at 10mA condition. It is the actual operating temperature of the temperature fuse. (3) Holding temperature (Th): When the temperature fuse passes the rated current, can hold for 168 hours without changing the maximum temperature of its conductive state. (4) limit temperature (Tm): Temperature fuse can withstand the maximum temperature for 10 minutes reconnection phenomenon never occurs. (5) Rated current (Ir): The maximum current that the temperature fuse can carry. (6) Rated voltage (Ur): Temperature fuse maximum operating voltage.

Motor Thermal Protector Motor is a very wide range of mechanical and electrical equipment, work in all walks of life often used. If you do not take protective measures on the motor, it may cause a safety accident, motor-driven electrical hazards in use may present a risk of electric shock and a fire hazard. What Is The Motor Thermal Protector Motor thermal protector is a bimetallic superheat protector, is the thermal protection device for the normal operation of the motor. In Ya Xun, to provide a full range of motor thermal protection, such as: DC, single-phase, three-phase, low-voltage motor, high-voltage motor. There are many reasons for motor overheating, such as running overload, selection is not appropriate, cooling failure, lack of monitoring and necessary maintenance leading to premature aging of insulation. The motor in the run-time will produce losses, these losses on the one hand to reduce the efficiency of the motor, on the other hand the loss turns into a motor heating, so that the motor winding temperature increases. The life of the winding insulation material is related to its operating temperature. The temperature is too high, the insulation material will accelerate aging, so that a significant reduction in insulation performance, significantly shorten the life of the motor, even the risk of fire and electric shock hazard. Therefore, the purpose of motor overheating protection, mainly in the design, manufacture, installation and use of motor protection measures, when the motor is operating under certain load and heat dissipation conditions, the temperature of the winding does not exceed the allowable value of the standard.
Cloves offer many health benefits, some of which include providing aid in digestion, having antimicrobial properties, fighting against cancer, protecting the liver, boosting the immune system, controlling diabetes, preserving bone quality, and containing anti-mutagenic properties, as well as fighting against oral diseases and headaches, while displaying aphrodisiac properties as well. Cloves are one of the spices indigenous to Asian countries like Indonesia, India, Pakistan, and even areas of East Africa. It is native to the Maluku islands in Indonesia. Cloves are a popular flavouring agents used in a variety of ways across the world, particularly in Asia. Cloves form the culinary base in a number of different Asian cuisines. Better Digestion: Cloves improve digestion by stimulating the secretion of digestive enzymes. Cloves are also good for reducing flatulence, gastric irritability, dyspepsia and nausea. Cloves can be roasted, powdered, and taken with honey for relief in digestive disorders. Antibacterial Properties: Cloves have been tested for their antibacterial properties against a number of human pathogens. The extracts of cloves were potent enough to kill those pathogens. Clove extracts are also effective against the specific bacterium that spreads cholera.
Nutmeg Myristica fragrans Fam: Myristicaceae The nutmeg tree is a large evergreen native to the Moluccas (the Spice Islands) and is now cultivated in the West Indies. It produces two spices — mace and nutmeg. Nutmeg is the seed kernel inside the fruit and mace is the lacy covering (aril) on the kernel. The Arabs were the exclusive importers of the spice to Europe up until 1512, when Vasco de Gama reached the Moloccas and claimed the islands for Portugal. To preserve their new monopoly, the Portuguese (and from 1602, the Dutch) restricted the trees to the islands of Banda and Amboina. The Dutch were especially cautious, since the part of the fruit used as a spice is also the seed, so that anyone with the spice could propagate it. To protect against this, the Dutch bathed the seeds in lime, which would prevent them from growing. This plan was thwarted however, by fruit pigeons who carried the fruit to other islands, before it was harvested, scattering the seeds. The Dutch sent out search and destroy crews to control the spread and when there was an abundant harvest, they even burned nutmeg to keep its supply under control. Despite these precautions, the French, led by Pierre Poivre (Peter Piper) smuggled nutmeg seeds and clove seedlings to start a plantation on the island of Mauritius, off the east coast of Africa, near Madagascar. In 1796 the British took over the Moloccas and spread the cultivation to other East Indian islands and then to the Caribbean. Nutmeg was so successful in Grenada it now calls itself the Nutmeg Island, designing its flag in the green, yellow and red colours of nutmeg and including a graphic image of nutmeg in one corner. Spice Description The nutmeg seed is encased in a mottled yellow, edible fruit, the approximate size and shape of a small peach. The fruit splits in half to reveal a net-like, bright red covering over the seed. This is the aril which is collected, dried and sold as mace. Under the aril is a dark shiny nut-like pit, and inside that is the oval shaped seed which is the nutmeg. Nutmegs are usually sold without the mace or hard shell. They are oval, about 25 mm (1 in) in length, lightly wrinkled and dark brown on the outside, lighter brown on the inside. Nutmeg is sold whole or ground, and is labeled as ‘East Indian’ or ‘West Indian’ indicating its source. Whole nutmeg may be coated with lime to protect against insects and fungus, though this practice is giving way to other forms of fumigation. Bouquet:sweet, aromatic and nutty Flavour : Nutty , warm and slightly sweet Hotness Scale: 1
