The thermal protection switch is typically located on A/C compressor housings. It senses the compressor case temperature and interrupts the electrical circuit when the temperature reaches a predetermined threshold.

Protection Type: The thermal protection switch protects against overload conditions. In these overload relays (also called "solder pot relays"), the motor current passes through a small heater winding.

The 17AM temperature protector is suitable for:

• All types of motors
• Fluorescent lamp commutators
• Transformers
• Laminators
• Lamps and lighting systems
• Cover sealing machines
• Various household appliances
