The range of motor protection thermistors are manufactured to conform to BS4999 Pt. 72. The sensing component is a doped barium titanate disc approximately 3mm dia. x 1mm thick. The ceramic pellet is provided with flying leads and an electrically insulating coating to provide complete isolation from the motor winding. The rapid increase in electrical resistance is set during manufacture to produce a range of components with "switching" temperatures at 10C intervals from 80C through to 190C


ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATION
Temperature Resistance Test Voltage (D.C,)
Tr 1000 ohms Typical 2.5V
Tr - 5°C 550 ohms Max. 2.5V
Tr + 5°C 1330 ohms Min. 2.5V
Tr + 15°C 4000 ohms Min. 7.5V
- 20°C to Tr - 20°C 250 ohms Max. 0.1V

Tr is reference or "switching" temperature of the device.The specification infers a rate of increase of resistance from Tr - 5° to Tr + 5°of 15% per °C. In practice this will be between 20% and 60%, depending on the type of device

Lead Wire
7/.15silver coated copper conductors, P.T.F.E. insulated to BSG 210 Type B (500V working). The lead colours identify the switching temperature of the device , as B.S. approved. Lead length is 500mm as standard.

Thermistor Bead Insulation
The primary insulation is epoxy resin, with a shrink sleeeve for added mechanical and electrical protection .Devices type T80 or T160 have a "Kynar" sleeve , T170 to T160 have a PTFE sleeve.


Insulating Rating
