Programmable control unit for determining temperature of e.g. single phase-motor, utilized for driving household compressor, has conductive path for transferring heat to heat-sensitive element to determine temperature of motor

摘要

The control unit has a printed circuit board (1) with electrical conductive paths (2) for transferring electric current. The printed circuit board has a thermally conductive path for transferring heat to a heat-sensitive element to determine temperature of a motor. A fastener detachably fastens the control unit to a control connection of the motor. The printed circuit board has multiple passage holes (3) for accommodating pin-shaped contact elements. A contact unit makes an electrical contact between the conductive paths and the pin-shaped contact elements. An independent claim is also included for a method for determining temperature of a motor.
