Description
The Rheem-Ruud 47-17359-30 can be considered as a safety device that is mostly fitted in HVAC systems. The limit switch is supposed to protect equipment from overheating by regulating temperature for the same. The limit switch is based on a rather simple concept. If temperatures go up to 180°F, it will close a normally closed circuit, while at 200°F, it will open normally open circuit. This bi-functional mode helps to facilitate the correct temperature regulation and to foresee the safety measures. Should the temperature go below the set limits on whatever side of the scale it was set, the automatic switch resets to ensure continuous operation of the system. This component is well essential in manage equipment damage and ability hazards that arise with high temperatures.
