The nVent HOFFMAN EFR201 is a fixed temperature normally open (NO) enclosure thermostat designed to automatically control cooling devices and high-temperature alarm equipment inside electrical panels. As part of the reliable nVent HOFFMAN EFR thermostat series, it provides accurate temperature switching, simple installation and dependable thermal management for industrial enclosures.
This thermostat uses a thermostatic bimetal sensor element with a pre-set switching temperature, preventing unauthorised adjustment while ensuring consistent operation. The compact design includes a mounting clip for direct installation on a 35 mm DIN rail, making it ideal for control cabinets, automation panels and electrical enclosures.
With a normally open contact and a fixed switch-on temperature of +35 °C, the EFR201 is suitable for controlling filter fans, cooling equipment or temperature warning devices. Its IP20 protection rating and robust UL94V-0 plastic construction provide reliable operation inside protected electrical enclosures.
