| 摘要 |
A self heating thermal protector of the present invention uses a resist or as a heat source, a bimetallic element as a switch located within a thermall y conducting enclosure located proximate the heat source for controlling the flow of current to a fixture and thermally conductive potting compound which encapsulates both the heat source and the bimetallic element. The potting compound provides good thermal conductivity between the resistor, the bimetallic element and the surrounding air. A mounting member for mounting the thermal detector to a junction box is composed of thermally insulating material and provides dual functions, one of mounting the thermal detector t o a junction box, and a second of thermally isolating the thermal protector from the junction box.
