Sensata RP-14A Thermal Protector High Sensitivity 3 Wire for Dedicated Voltage

Identification & Application

The Sensata RP-14A is a high sensitivity thermal protector from the Sensata RP Series designed for dedicated voltage recessed lighting and overtemperature cutoff applications. It is an automatic resetting device that senses excessive internal fixture temperature and opens the circuit to protect ballast and luminaire components. The three-wire configuration is optimized for integration with dedicated line voltage installations at the rated heater voltage. This device is intended for use in non-IC recessed luminaires and similar lighting assemblies requiring thermal protection per manufacturer specification and electrical code.
