Panel Cooling Thermostats

A panel cooling thermostat is a thermostat with an NO (normally open) contact that closes its contact when the temperature inside the panel exceeds the set value and starts the fan. It is used in panels containing heat-generating devices such as drives, power supplies and contactors, to run a filtered fan only when needed or to give a warning at high temperature. This category includes Gwest, Isıso and Konsan IP20 models of the KTS 011 type, with a blue color code, adjustable between 0 and 60 °C. Choose the thermostat by setting range, the switching current of the contact, the current drawn by the fan, and the supply voltage. A cooling thermostat is not a heating thermostat; if connected to a heater, it would run the heater as the panel gets hotter, which is why a model with an NC contact is used in the heater circuit.
