An insatiable hunger for power
Every motorist wants maximum comfort and maximum safety. So more and more electronics are being packed into the vehicle for this purpose. This leads to a constantly increasing power density with not insignificant thermal hazard potential.
SCHURTER counters the danger presented by the thermal hazard potential with thermal fuses.
Thermal fuses are used for safe and one-time separation of circuits when a specified permissible operating temperature is exceeded. This prevents a possible fire even after years of reliable operation.
The most common applications are in unattended power electronics to protect power supplies, electric motors, blowers and much more. But it does not really matter which heat source it is.
Every application in which there may be excessive heat generation offers potential for a thermal fuse.
