You Don’t Always Need to Measure Temperature – Sometimes You Just Need to Know When to Stop
Do you really need to measure temperature – or do you simply need to know when it is time to take action?
In many overtemperature protection applications, a Temperature Switch can provide a simpler and more direct solution than a complete temperature measurement system. This article explains the difference between Temperature Sensors and Temperature Switches, how bimetal thermal switches work, when to choose NC or NO, and why installation location, switching temperature, and thermal response are critical to effective protection.
