Under normal circuit conditions, current passing through the PTC thermistor remains below the rated current, maintaining low resistance for uninterrupted operation. During circuit faults where current exceeds rated levels, the PTC thermistor rapidly heats up and transitions to high resistance state, effectively disconnecting the circuit to prevent damage. Once the fault is eliminated, the component automatically returns to low resistance state, restoring normal circuit function.
Specifically designed for inverter welding machine protection systems. Compatible with various protection components including varistors, NTC thermistors, and fuses for comprehensive circuit safety.
