Why EV Chargers Require Temperature Control
The Impact of Overheating on EV Chargers
EV chargers function similarly to household electrical outlets but handle significantly higher voltage, typically between 240V and 480V. These chargers transfer electricity from the power grid to a vehicle’s battery, much like a gas pump dispensing fuel.
Excessive heat can degrade internal components, leading to reduced efficiency, shorter equipment lifespan, and potential safety risks. Snap Disc Temperature Control for EV Chargers helps regulate temperature by interrupting power flow when temperatures rise beyond safe levels.
How a Snap Disc Protects EV Chargers from Heat Damage
A snap disc thermostat mounts inside the EV charger enclosure, where it monitors temperature changes. If the internal temperature exceeds 190°F, the switch opens the circuit, cutting power to prevent damage. Once the temperature drops to 170°F, the switch closes, allowing normal operation to resume. This cycle protects sensitive electronics and prevents overheating-related failures.
