Sensata’s thermal automotive circuit breakers protect electrical networks in most types of vehicles including cars, vans, buses, boats, and military and defense vehicles.
Thermal automotive circuit breakers are devices used to break the flow of current in automotive circuits in order to protect them against a fault such an overcurrent or short circuit. The thermal aspect of this type of circuit breaker allows for smaller over-currents over a longer period of time, but will quickly trip the circuit for larger over-currents. This is useful in the case of motors as there will be a small overcurrent each time the engine is switched on for a short length of time, which should not trip the circuit.
Thermal automotive circuit breakers from Sensata protect electrical networks in most types of vehicles, including cars, vans, buses, boats but also military and defense vehicles or any other types of transportation equipment.
- Temperature protection for heaters such as diesel heating elements
- Motor protection for mid power motors like wipers, window lift, seat adjust
- Temperature protection of the heating elements in military tanks
- Circuit protection of the electrical system in military and defense equipment
