The 2MM series uses the same snap–action principle of
other Klixon
protectors. The bimetal disc senses both heat and current from the
battery pack. A current flows through the resistive Klixon bimetal
disc. When the temperature of the disc reaches a predetermined
calibration point the disc snaps open the contact, breaking the current
path. The contacts close again automatically as the device cools down
to a safe running temperature.
The protector senses heat build-up in the battery pack,
characteristic
of an overcharge condition. The disc snaps open the contacts at the
predetermined calibration point. The wide differential between the open
and closing temperature of the disc causes the MM to cycle slowly
during a prolonged fault condition. This ensures the average
temperature of the battery will be kept within safe limits, also adding
to the overall life of the pack.
Application: 120VAC and 230VAC
Also available in doubles and triples.
Price: $12.50 each
