When this polymer block reaches approximately 125C, either due to current passing through it via conductive chains of carbon particles or due to an external heat source it swells volumetrically. This expansion breaks apart a majority of the chains of carbon granules that run randomly between the two conductive plates. This behavior results in a sharp increase in resistance across the two plates which all but eliminates current flow through the device, allowing just enough residual current flow to maintain the blocks internal temperature at 125C. Once this tripped state current is cut off, the polymer brick cools and shrinks to its original size, thereby allowing its broken carbon chains to reestablish themselves and permit the part to return to its low resistance state. Once cooled to room ambient, the PTC will once again exhibit a resistance less than its R1max rating. At currents below the device IHOLD rating, AND at temperatures below 100C, the PTC maintains a resistance value below its R1 MAX rating. The catalog data for each device specifies aTypical Powe value. This is the power required to exactly match the heat lost by the tripped device to its ambient surroundings at 23C. By Ohm s Law, power can be stated as: W = E/R. Thus the approximate resistance of a Tripped PTC can be determined by: R = E/W, where is the voltage appearing across the PTC (usually the supply s open circuit voltage), and is the Typical Power value for the particular PTC. Since the PPTC acts to maintain a constant internal temperature, its apparent resistance will change based upon applied voltage and, to a lesser degree, ambient conditions. Consider the following example.... A PTC with a Typical Power of 1 watt protecting a circuit using a 60V supply will demonstrate an apparent, tripped resistance of: R = 60/1 = 3,600 ohms This same tripped device when used to protect a 12V circuit would now present an apparent resistance of: R = 12/1 = 144 ohms The value for Typical Power istypica because any physical factors that affect heat loss (such as ambient temperature or air convection) will somewhat alter the level of power that the PTC needs to maintain its internal temperature. In short, PTCs do not exhibit a constant, quantifiable tripped resistance value.
