APPLICATION SPECIFIC DATA
Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistors are well
known for temperature sensing. What is not well known,
however, is that Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC)
thermistors can be used for thermal protection. Although
their operating principles are similar, the applications are
very different; whereas NTC thermistors sense and measure
temperature over a defined range, PTC thermistors switch at
one particular temperature.
Just like thermostats they protect such equipment and
components as motors, transformers, power transistors and
thyristors against overtemperature. A PTC thermistor is less
expensive than a thermostat, and its switch temperature can
be more accurately specified. It is also smaller and easier to
design-in to electronic circuitry.
So how does it work? The PTC thermistor is mounted in
thermal contact with the equipment to be protected, and
connected into the bridge arm of a comparator circuit, such
as shown in Fig. 1. At normal temperature, the PTC
thermistor resistance (R
p
) is lower than R
s
(see Fig. 2), so the
comparator's output voltage V
O
will be low. If an equipment
overtemperature occurs, the PTC thermistor will quickly heat
up to its trigger or nominal reference temperature T
n
,
whereupon its resistance will increase to a value much
higher than R
s
, causing V
O
to switch to a high level sufficient
to activate an alarm, relay or power shutdown circuit.

As soon as one or more of the windings becomes too hot, the
motor is switched off.
The PTC thermistors located above the fluid level will be heated to
a temperature greater than T
n
.
When immersed they are cooled such that their resistance value is
reduced.
