  Key Features of PTC Termistor

  Working Principle 

  PTC Thermistors play a crucial role in energy-saving lamps by regulating the preheating and starting process. Initially, when the high-frequency shaking circuit is activated, the PTC Thermistor is in a cold state, resulting in low resistance. The resistance value of the PTC is much lower than that of the capacitor (C2), allowing minimal voltage across the lamp. The current flows through the capacitor (C1) and the PTC Thermistor, forming a loop to preheat the filament.

  Meanwhile, PTC Termistor is heated to above the Curie temperature, Rt heating temperature exceeding the switch temperature TSW and leaping to the state of high resistance too. Its resistance value is far higher than that of C2, and the current goes through C1, C2, forming the return circuit and causing LC resonance and producing high pressure and lighting the tube.

  Optimizing Energy-Saving Lamps

  Selecting a higher resistance PTC Resistor, smaller ceramic body, and lower switch temperature reduces power consumption and preheating time. Conversely, a lower resistance and higher switch temperature increase power consumption and extend preheating time. For extended preheating, choose a PTC Thermistor with lower resistance, a higher Curie point, and a larger size.

  Filament material will be sputtered seriously if the filament of energy-saving lamps starting with high voltage without preheating anymore,cause lamp tubes black and scrap in advance! Use PTC thermistors MZ12 type, the filament will be preheated around 1 second in starting, and then add high voltage to lit the lamp, can prevent black of the tube ends effectively,can also prevent components of lamps and lanterns lines such as audion from impact of starting instant large current and high back voltage,can prolong lamp life 10 times more.

  Benefits of PTC Thermistors in Lamps

By selecting the appropriate PTC Termistor, you can optimize lamp performance, reduce maintenance, and achieve energy savings.

Guidelines for Choosing the Right PTC Thermistors

Selecting the correct PTC Thermistors is crucial for optimal performance and compatibility in energy-saving lamps. Consider the following factors:

1. Curie Temperature
Choose a PTC Thermistor with a Curie temperature above 100°C to handle high operating temperatures effectively.

2. Voltage Requirements
Ensure the PTC Termistor can withstand voltages above 800V, especially in circuits with single capacitors.

3. High-Resistance for Reliability
High-resistance PTC Thermistors provide better reliability during startup, reducing failure rates.

4. Low-Temperature Start Consideration
For low-temperature starts, select PTC Resistor with balanced heat resistance to prevent startup failures.

5. Switching Life
Opt for PTC Thermistors with a switch life of over 100,000 cycles for enhanced durability and reduced maintenance.

6. Preheat Time
Ensure the PTC Resistor’s preheat time is not less than 0.4 seconds to allow proper filament preheating.

7. Power Consumption Compliance
Select PTC Termistor that meet relevant power consumption standards to ensure efficiency and compliance.
