What are three-phase thermostats?

A three-phase thermostat is designed for industrial applications that operate on three-phase electrical systems. Unlike single-phase systems commonly found in residential buildings, three-phase systems provide more power, making them suitable for heavy machinery, large-scale manufacturing plants and industrial environments.

Three-phase thermostats are used to control the temperature control of a process or equipment by monitoring it and activating or deactivating the heating or cooling system at the appropriate time. They ensure that the desired temperature is maintained within the specified range, optimising energy efficiency, preventing overheating and ensuring consistent performance.

How do three-phase thermostats work?

Thermostats Three-phase thermostats use a combination of sensors, control algorithms and switching mechanisms to achieve precise temperature control. They typically incorporate temperature sensors such as thermocouples or resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) to measure this property in the system being monitored.

When temperature exceeds the desired setpoint, the thermostat activates a switching mechanism to interrupt or switch on the power supply to the heating or cooling. This control action is achieved using a relay or solid-state switching device capable of handling the higher voltage and current associated with a three-phase supply.

Three-phase thermostats - heat pumps and other applications

This type of thermostat has applications in various industries that require precise temperature control in three-phase powered systems. Here are some examples:

1. Industrial manufacturing: Three-phase thermostats are widely used in production machinery and other industrial equipment, such as industrial ovens and dryers, where precise temperature control is essential to achieve optimum operating conditions and high production quality.
2. Food industry: In the food industry, three-phase thermostats are used in industrial kitchens, e.g. in water heaters, and in delicatessen equipment such as pizza ovens, deep fryers or toasters, among others.
3. Screw-in heaters and three-phase controlled electric heaters
4. Electric heat generators - heat pumps
