PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Differential linear thermal expansion available from a combination of stem of brass tube (high thermal expansion alloy) and nickel-iron wire (very low thermal expansion alloy) is used to operate a high-precision micro-gap switch. Switch contacts open when temperature of brass stem exceeds the set temperature & remain open till manually reset after stem temperature drops down to safe limits.

As the mechanism is operated by linear thermal expansion, tolerance on operating temperature improve with increase in stem length.

CONSTRUCTION

Switch is provided with heavy-duty silver cadmium oxide contacts. Contact spring is made of Beryllium Copper & scientifically heat-treated. Steatite component is used for insulation between stem & live terminals. Extra large brass terminal pillars are used for cool operation Switch base is made of high quality electrical grade material. Brass tube and nickel-iron wire are brazed together using silver alloy. 

This construction gives following advantages.

• Closer differential temperature and better repeat accuracy.
• Terminal Screws are recessed to ensure safety from electric shock.
• Terminal Screws cannot fall off.
• Specially designed Knob prevents shift in Temperature Setting during transit & vibration.
• Improved design prevents shift in Temperature Setting due to external pressure on knob.
• Contact Spring made from imported Beryllium Copper and scientifically heat-treated.
• Large size Terminal Pillars ensure cool operation at full load.
• Large size Silver Cadmium Oxide contacts give high current carrying capacity.
• Contact Insulator made of Steatite for good electrical, thermal and mechanical properties.

APPLICATION

These are designed for use in electric water heaters & geysers, water baths, oil baths and similar other applications where temperature need to be limited automatically to safe limits.
