DEFINITION

Classification: 361/103

Circuit interruption by thermal sensing:

(under subclass 1) Subject matter wherein a thermally responsive device detects either the excessive heat of the device being protected or the excessive heat generated in the thermally responsive device and activates the circuit interrupter which disconnects the load from the source.
