Copeland 998-1400-02 Thermistor & Bracket PTCR

Description

Copeland 998-1400-02 Thermistor & Bracket PTCR Overview

The Copeland 998-1400-02 is a genuine OEM Positive Temperature Coefficient Resistor (PTCR) thermistor and mounting bracket assembly designed for use with Copeland compressors. PTCR thermistors are a critical line of defense in compressor motor protection, continuously monitoring winding temperatures and triggering protective shutdowns before damaging overheating can occur. This assembly includes both the thermistor sensor and the bracket required for proper installation and positioning.

Key Features

• Genuine Copeland OEM replacement thermistor and bracket assembly
• PTCR (Positive Temperature Coefficient Resistor) technology for accurate motor winding temperature sensing
• Protects compressor motor windings from overheating and thermal damage
• Includes mounting bracket for secure, precise sensor positioning
• Direct OEM replacement ensures proper fit and reliable performance
• Designed for compatibility with Copeland compressor applications

Why PTCR Thermistors Matter

PTCR thermistors exhibit a sharp increase in electrical resistance as temperature rises beyond a set threshold. This characteristic makes them ideal for compressor motor protection — when winding temperatures approach unsafe levels, the thermistor’s resistance change signals the control circuit to shut down the compressor, preventing burnout and costly failures. Using a genuine Copeland OEM part ensures the thermistor’s trip point and response curve match the compressor’s original design specifications.

Application

• Replacement thermistor and bracket for Copeland compressors
• Commercial and residential HVAC/R systems utilizing Copeland compressor technology
