3 Introduction 1.: Introduction Objective To determine how long it takes a PTC thermistor to trip after reaching the experimental threshold current. Information Sources Tyco Electronics Data Sheet RXE11-2 Literature on PTC Thermistors by Bowthrope Thermometrics, Thermometrics & Keystone Thermometrics Laboratory Equipment Volt-ohm meters Meter S/W Temperature Chamber Statistical Tools Minitab Excel Product under study PTC (xx327) Sample size = 6 Page 3-19

5 2.: Summary Summary There were six PTC thermistors tested at the experimental threshold of 1.75 Amperes. The circuit application rating is 1. ampere and the MS-512 technical manual explicitly specifies 1. Amp load current. Laboratory Test Results Threshold current and time to trip confidence intervals (T-distribution model) Variables N Mean StDev SE Mean 95% CI Current (Amps) (1.742, ) Time (Seconds) (24.7, 69.3) Monte Carlo Simulation Test Results Threshold current and time to trip confidence intervals (T-distribution model) Variables N Mean StDev SE Mean 95% CI Current (Amps) ( , ) Time (seconds) (46.3,49.1) The Monte Carlo simulation results indicates a more accurate assessment of load current versus trip time. For example, the confidence intervals, particularly the time it takes to trip are much smaller. The load current passed normality test when the Kolmogorov-Smirnov model was applied to the data. The the time to trip passed normality test when the Anderson-Darling model was applied to the data. Once normality was confirmed, parametric statistics models were applicable. Page 5-19

6 summary cont d Statistical Graphs Various plots of the data are on the following pages. There is no correlation between threshold current and time to trip. However, an attempt was made to use the exponential model anyway and it showed what was expected, a linear line for threshold load current versus time to trip. This device is a switching PTC thermistor and is intended to protect the board from an external short that might occur across the output NAC circuit. See figure 1 for the exponential graph. Additionally, see figures 3 and 4 for the correlation study. Additional statistical graphs are shown in figures 6 thru 14. The Monte Carlo simulation test results infer that if 1, PTC thermistors were tested at threshold current, 95% of the time, the time to trip will be between 46 and 49 seconds. Real Time Technical Graphs These graphs indicate the interval time period from trip current threshold to trip. The trip is where the avalanche takes place. There is a graph for each sample component. See figures 13 thru 17. Conclusion of Study There is a reasonable degree of practical and statistical certainty that the 1.1 Amperes device will not trip unless the output is driven 75% over the MS-512 load specification of 1. Ampere. See additional studies for this device in RP-66 dated 3/31/5. Summary cont d Page 6-19
