Description
Trane CNT7188 Hi-Limit Switch Overview
The Trane CNT7188 is an OEM hi-limit safety switch designed to protect HVAC equipment from overheating conditions. When supply or heat exchanger temperatures reach the trip threshold, this limit switch opens the circuit to shut down the heating system — preventing damage and ensuring safe operation. Once temperatures fall back to the reset point, the switch closes and normal operation resumes.
