N-2 delivers the maximum protection in the smallest package at an excellent price. At the heart of the protector is a bimetal Snap–action disc. When the temperature of this disc reaches its pre-calibrated temperature it snaps open, resulting in an open circuit. This temperature is reached during a fault condition. After the circuit breaks, the system cools and the N-2 automatically resets, allowing power to be restored to the circuit.

N-2 provides complete protection in:
Overload Condition: Gradual increase in winding temperature due to overload is sensed by the N-2 TOP causing it to switch open and protect the Device from overloading.


Lock Rotor Condition: High current due to Locked Rotor Condition generates high internal heat in the TOP causing it to switch open within 3 to 10 seconds.

Short Circuit Condition: Very high short circuit current generates instantaneous internal heat inside the TOP causing it to switch open in a fraction of second and protect the device.

N-2 Thermal Overload Protector is excellent for use in motor, transformer and lighting applications. It is available in 2, 4, 8, 12 Amps ratings for 120, 240VAC (10,000 cycles).
