High Voltage PTC Heater Module
Overview
The positive temperature coefficient (PTC) heater is a self-regulated heating device ensuring energy efficiency and safety to xEVs. The current flow decreases with the rise of temperature due to the increase of resistance, thereby stopping heating automatically.
