Selecting a resettable circuit-protection device

摘要

Automated systems are relied upon to control environment, provide security, minimize energy usage, and protect against fire. System failures often result in costly service calls and disruptions to sendees. Products using resettable fault-protection technologies such as polymeric positive temperature co-efficient (PPTC) devices can help minimize the impact that any failure has on the system, reduce the number of system components affected, and shorten repair time. PPTC devices offer a resettable alternative to single-use fuse technologies and help protect valuable electronic systems, reduce warranty and services costs, and improve user satisfaction.
