Bimetallic thermostat 230V 1NO 10A EK053

Bimetallic thermostat – reliable temperature control

This 230V bimetallic thermostat with a single normally open (1NO) contact and a load capacity of 10A is a simple but effective solution for temperature regulation in various applications. It will work both in home and industrial installations where precise temperature control and overheating protection are required. Surface or flush mounting provides flexibility in choosing the installation location, and its compact dimensions (82 x 82 x 30 mm) allow for discreet placement in the room.

The thermostat is characterized by a measurement range from 5 to 5°C, making it suitable for applications requiring maintaining a constant temperature within a narrow range. The IP30 protection class provides basic protection against solid objects, which is important in moderately dusty environments. Made in a white housing, the thermostat fits most interior designs.

Application and functionality

A bimetallic thermostat is a classic solution used to automatically turn on and off heating or cooling devices. Its operation is based on the change in shape of a bimetal under the influence of temperature, which causes the electrical circuit to be switched on or off. This allows maintaining the set temperature without manual intervention. It will find wide application in:

• Electric heating – controlling radiators, heating mats
• Ventilation systems – regulating fan operation
• Industrial equipment – overheating protection for motors, transformers
• Incubators and terrariums – maintaining optimal temperature for animals
• Air conditioning systems - controlling the operation of refrigeration units

Construction features and parameters

The thermostat has been designed with reliability and durability in mind. The use of high-quality materials and a solid construction ensure long-term operation even in difficult conditions. The normally open (NO) contact means that the circuit is normally open and closes when the set temperature is exceeded. The control characteristics and hysteresis range of 0.5 K ensure precise temperature regulation and minimize the risk of unwanted device on/off cycles. The type of thermal feedback – series – further increases the stability of the thermostat. The maximum voltage on the contacts is 250V AC, allowing for safe use in standard electrical installations.
