HC18/8AM Thermal Overload Protector 60A Capacity Fast Trip Response Motor Protector for Automotive Motors & Transformers
The HC18/8AM Series Motor Overload Thermal Protector is a dual-sensitive (temperature + current) safety device engineered to safeguard critical equipment such as motors, transformers, and automotive systems from overheating and overcurrent damage. With a precision-calibrated temperature range of 80℃ to 180℃ (±5℃/±8℃ tolerance) and a high-capacity current rating of 15-60A, this protector ensures rapid disconnection (4-10 seconds at 25℃ ambient) to prevent catastrophic failures. Its compact design simplifies installation in tight spaces, while customizable terminals and wiring options adapt to diverse industrial and automotive applications, including capacitor-start motors, split-phase motors, and ballast systems. Trusted for reliability and compliance with international electrical standards, the HC18/8AM is the ideal solution for demanding environments requiring both thermal and electrical protection.
