What is a thermal limiter switch?

A thermal limiter switch is a safety device which turns off electric current when the temperature reaches a certain level. It is usually found in electric motors, lamps, and other appliances and equipment.

What is the purpose of a thermal limiter switch?

The purpose of a thermal limiter switch is to prevent overheating and potential fires by cutting off the power supply when the temperature exceeds a set limit.

How can I determine if my thermal limiter switch is faulty?

If your thermal limiter switch is faulty it may not be functioning properly and may not be able to detect and cut off the power when the temperature reaches a certain level. To determine if your thermal limiter switch is faulty, you can test it with a multimeter.

Can a faulty thermal limiter switch cause damage?

Yes, a faulty thermal limiter switch can cause damage by failing to cut off the power when the temperature reaches a certain level, leading to overheating and potential fires.

How do I replace a thermal limiter switch?

To replace a thermal limiter switch, you will need to:

1. Turn off the power to the appliance or equipment.
2. Disconnect the wires from the thermal limiter switch.
