The Kema Keur 716 RU-1828 is an electro-mechanical thermal limiter switch engineered for over-temperature protection in electrical systems. This adjustable changeover switch interrupts the circuit when a preset temperature threshold is exceeded, automatically restoring operation as temperature drops below the setpoint. The RU designation denotes changeover functionality, providing application flexibility across industrial and commercial installations requiring temperature-dependent circuit control.
