Introduction to PTC Ceramic Thermistors for Transformer Protection

MZ31 series PTC Ceramic thermistors are reliable components for PTC Transformer overvoltage and overcurrent protection. These PTC Electronics elements offer self-resetting capabilities, automatically recovering without triggers or noise. Known as "auto restore fuses," they provide superior protection compared to traditional fuses, which do not reset after a fault. PTC Ceramic thermistors resume their protective function after the issue is resolved, making them ideal for repeated use in sensitive circuits.

Applications of PTC Ceramic Thermistors in Transformer Protection

The MZ31 series PTC Ceramic thermistor is widely used in transformers and adapters for:

Primary PTC transformer for overvoltage protection
Overload protection
Overcurrent protection

These PTC Electronics components are essential in maintaining the integrity and safety of electrical circuits by minimizing residual current through rapid resistance increase and ensuring the overall system’s efficiency.

Key Advantages of PTC Electronics for Transformer Overvoltage Protection

1.Automatic circuit protection: PTC Transformer can resume steadily after circuit protection.
2.Contactless,noiseless and flameless.
3.Has complete specification.
4.PTC Ceramic Thermistor Reacts fast.
5.Long stability.
6.With a better performance of overvoltage protection,
suitable for operating in 250/265V AC (high resistance state) continuously
7.Small steady resistance.
8.Low rated current.
9.PTC Electronics components are RoHS compliant.

Key Features of PTC Ceramic in Transformers

Working Principle

As indicated in Fig as below,when the circuit is operating normally, the current flowing through thePTC Ceramic is below the rated current, keeping the thermistor in a low resistance state. This allows the transformer’s primary and secondary loops to function without interruption. If a fault occurs, causing the current to exceed the rated level, the PTC Transformer quickly heats up, significantly increasing its resistance. This action effectively turns off the circuit to prevent damage. Once the fault is resolved, the PTC Electronics return to its low resistance state, allowing the circuit to resume normal operation.

Choosing Guidelines for PTC transformer for Overcurrent and Overload Protection

When selecting a PTC Ceramic for transformer overvoltage protection and overload protection, consider the following factors:

Maximum Operating Current: Ensure it matches the non-trip current of the PTC Electronics.
Maximum Operating Voltage: Must meet or exceed the circuit's requirements.
Rated Zero Power Resistance: Crucial for ensuring proper protection.
Physical Dimensions and Appearance: PTC Transformer should fit the design and layout of your circuit.

The relationship between operating temperature, operating current, and non-operating current is critical, as shown in the above figures. Generally, the operating current is 2-3 times the non-operating current, and both decrease as the operating temperature increases.
