How the KSD301A Thermostat Works
The KSD301A operates using a snap-action bimetal disc:
Temperature rises → bimetal expands unevenly
Disc snaps at preset temperature
Electrical contact opens or closes instantly
Temperature drops → thermostat resets
This ensures:
Fast switching response
Stable electrical performance
Reliable over-temperature protection
