A PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) heater rated at 220V and 300W is commonly used in incubators due to its self-regulating temperature properties and safety features. These heaters are designed to provide consistent and efficient heating without the risk of overheating.
Rated Voltage: 220V AC
Power Output: 300W
Heating Element: PTC thermistor
Dimensions: Typically around 120 x 50.5 x 26 mm
Mounting: Equipped with mounting holes for easy installation
Lead Wires: Silicone high-temperature wires, approximately 200 mm in length
Safety Features: Surface insulation and an automatic constant temperature mechanism
These heaters are constructed with PTC ceramic heating elements and aluminum tubes, offering low thermal resistance and high heat transfer efficiency. The PTC characteristic ensures that as the temperature increases, the electrical resistance also increases, preventing overheating and enhancing safety. This makes them ideal for applications like incubators, where maintaining a consistent temperature is crucial.
