Customization Is Key To Optimum Performance
Date: February 1, 2008
The ambient environment surrounding a thermal control can have a big effect on how the device operates. No two application environments are exactly alike, even though the applications may share a similar function. The materials used for an appliance as well as many other design considerations vary from product to product. These variations greatly effect the operating environment of many products.

Coordinated Circuit Protection for Electric Motors, Transformers and Control Units in Home and Professional Appliances
Date: February 1, 2008
The electric motors, transformers and controllers used in home and professional grade appliances are often subjected to mechanical overloads, overheating, stalls, lost neutral, severe overvoltages, humidity and other damaging factors. New polymeric positive temperature coefficient (PPTC) devices are designed for operation at line voltages of 120 VAC and 240 VAC, and can help appliance designers prevent safety and fire hazards, as well as reduce warranty return and replacement costs resulting from motor failure.

The Advantages Of Designing With Thermally Protected Varistors Versus Standard MOVs.
Date: February 1, 2008
Standard MOVs (metal oxide varistors) have been providing transient voltage surge protection from surges for many years. These surges can originate from lightning, electronic switching, electromagnetically induced surges and a myriad of other sources. MOVs are specifically designed to protect electronic equipment from overvoltage transient surges however they are not designed to protect the same equipment from a temporary abnormal overvoltage.
