Automotive motor thermal protectors, also known as overload devices or inherent motor protection, are crucial for preventing electric motors from overheating and potentially failing. They detect excessive temperature or current and shut down the motor to prevent damage. These protectors are designed to protect the motor’s internal components, such as windings and insulation, from damage caused by overheating.

To install a motor thermal protector correctly, ensure it’s placed in a location that accurately detects the motor’s temperature, typically near the windings or stator. Proper wiring is crucial, and the protection settings should be adjusted based on the motor’s design and the operating environment.
