The HCET HC18/8AM Bimetal Thermal Protector is a dual-sensitive (temperature & current) motor overload protector designed to safeguard high-power motors and transformers from overheating or overcurrent damage. Engineered with precision-calibrated bimetal technology, it ensures rapid trip-off response (4-10 seconds) to prevent equipment failure in demanding applications such as industrial pumps, HVAC compressors, automotive motors, and power tools. This UL/TUV/CE-certified thermal cutoff switch supports up to 60A load capacity and operates within a wide temperature range (80°C-180°C), making it a reliable KLIXON-compatible replacement for global markets. Customizable terminals and wiring options ensure seamless integration into existing systems.
