Thermal circuit breakers - function and design
Thermal circuit breakers are normally triggered via a bimetallic strip. This means that in the event of an error, the bimetal heats up and disconnects the circuit.
As a rule: the higher the overload, the faster the thermal circuit breaker is triggered. The devices can be switched on again at any time.
Thermal circuit breakers are available as plug-in versions.

Typical areas of application for thermal circuit breakers are sensors and actuators in systems. These include, for example, motors, heating elements and fans, and devices with a high starting current.
The maximum voltage ranges for thermal circuit breakers are 250 V AC or 65 V DC.
