2MM

2MM Motor Protector/Thermal Cut-Out KEY BENEFITS Field proven reliable and repeatable snap-action bimetal actuation. Sensata Technologies builds the 2MM motor protector to meet almost any requirement of protection in a wide range of small motors, small transformers, solenoids, etc.. This compact motor protector is the best solution to protect the wide variety of motors used in industrial and domestic appliances against locked rotor and overload situations. Design and operating principles The motor protector 2MM consists of a metal housing that holds and protects the inner components against infiltration as well as mechanical deformation. The can contains the calibrated Klixon® disc carrying a silver contact. The fixed contact is placed on the opposite side, separated from the terminal by an insulator. The 2MM is available in two versions: with epoxy insulation and with additional sleeve. The operating principle of the 2MM is both simple and effective. A current flows through the resistive Klixon® bimetal disc. When a fault condition occurs, the increased current and ambient temperature make the bimetal disc snap open the contacts. The contacts close again automatically as the device cools down to a safe running temperature. Applications The 2MM operates as a sensitive safety cut-out for applications like: · · · · Small motors Coils Solenoid valves Transformers Low profile shape for close coupling to on- or in-winding application.
