Household electric fan motor overheat protection solution

Learn about the protection mechanism of MF72 series current limiting thermistors and MOV varistors in fan motors to help upgrade the safety of small household appliance designs.

Household electric fan motor overheat protection solution

Product Overview

Fan motors in household appliances like electric fans are prone to overheating and high inrush currents during start-up. These risks can be mitigated with a dual-protection design using MOVs and MF72 series NTC thermistors, ensuring safe, stable operation even in peak summer workloads.

Product Applications

Inrush Current Suppression

MF72 thermistors suppress inrush current during power-on, protecting motor windings from surges.

Thermal Rise Monitoring

NTC thermistors detect abnormal thermal rise during operation and trigger shutdown or frequency reduction.

Lightning & Surge Absorption

MOVs absorb overvoltage spikes such as those caused by lightning or grid fluctuations.

Key Benefits

Dual-layer protection: surge + temperature

High durability, stable performance

Compact size, easy integration on PCB
