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.

The operating principle of the 2MM is both simple and effective. A current flows through the resistive Klixon bimetal disc. when a fault condition occurs, the increased current and ambient temperature make the bimetal disc snap open the contacts. The contacts close again automatically as the device cools down to a safe running temperature.

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.
