Motor Control
CODE: 2MM series

Sensata Technologies builds the 2MM motor protector to meet almost any requirement of protection in a wide range of small motors, small transformers, solenoids, and more. This compact motor protector is the best solution to protect the wide variety of motors used in industrial and domestic appliances against locked rotor and overload situations.

This motor protector consists of a metal housing that holds and protects the inner components against infiltration as well as mechanical deformation. The can contains the calibrated Klixon disc carrying a silver contact. The fixed contact is placed on the opposite side, separated from the terminal by an insulator. In single–phase motors, the 2MM can be mounted directly in the main circuit to serve as an on– or in–winding protector.

At this time there is practically no small motor the 2MM cannot protect against overheating and overloading.

Operating Principle - The 2MM series uses the same snap–action principle of other Klixon protectors. The bimetal disc senses both heat and current from the battery pack. A current flows through the resistive Klixon bimetal disc. When the temperature of the disc reaches a predetermined calibration point the disc snaps open the contact, breaking the current path. The contacts close again automatically as the device cools down to a safe running temperature.

Overcharge Protection - The protector senses heat build-up in the battery pack, characteristic of an overcharge condition. The disc snaps open the contacts at the predetermined calibration point. The wide differential between the open and closing temperature of the disc causes the MM to cycle slowly during a prolonged fault condition. This ensures the average temperature of the battery will be kept within safe limits, also adding to the overall life of the pack.
