What are some applications of temperature-actuated switches?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
List the applications of a temperature-actuated switch.
Explanation of Solution
Temperature-actuated switch uses a mechanism that is used to sense and measure the temperature. The temperature switch works on the basis of the temperature variation occurring in an enclosed place or in an open area. The switch can be actuated when the specific or limited temperature range is reached. For example, thermal overload relay is the temperature switch used for the motor protection. Mostly used in control circuits.
The applications of temperature actuated switches are as follows:
- Heaters.
- Blowers.
- Fans.
- Solenoid valves.
- Pumps.
Conclusion:
Thus, the applications of the temperature-actuated switches are listed.

- An inner-city electric bus with 7,200kg weight and average speed of 72 km/hour operates using a hybrid power source of lithium-ion battery pack and a bank of super capacitor. equipped with a lithium battery pack and a bank of supercapacitor. The energy content of the supercapacitor bank is twice the regenerative breaking energy of the electric bus at average speed. The electric bus commutes 490 km per charged battery and consumes 400 Wh/km. Design the supercapacitor bank to provide 100V output, based on supercapacitor cells with 3600F capacitance and 2V. Calculate the energy density of the supercapacitor at the cell level, assume cells with 10cm diameter and 15 cm height. 3.
