For all my myLot friends - I would like to share some advice that some of my friends on myLot told me about. I thought I'd share it with you, since it can really multiply your earnings on myLot. I have been informed that, when you post/reply to discussions, if you write at least six lines, you will be paid a higher amount for that, than if you were to just write one or two lines. If you can keep your sentences short, then six lines is not a lot ! So friends, try to keep this advice in mind for your future discussions and the money start to add up quicker than it was before.

Using a thermal cutoff fuse to safeguard your appliances

    A thermal cutoff fuse is a cutoff which uses a one-time fusible link. Unlike the thermal switch which automatically resets itself when the temperature drops, the thermal fuse is more like an electrical fuse. A single-use device that cannot be reset and must be replaced when it fails or is triggered. A thermal fuse is most useful when the overheating is a result of a rare occurrence, such as failure requiring repair (which would also replace the fuse) or replacement at the end of service life. thermal cutoff are usually found in heat-producing electrical appliances such as coffee makers or hair dryers. They function as safety devices to disconnect the current to the heating element in case of a malfunction which can lead to electrical fire or short circuiting. Unlike electrical fuses or circuit breakers thermal fuses only react to excessive temperature, not excessive current, unless the excessive current is sufficient to cause the thermal fuse itself to heat up to the trigger temperature. Such an arrangement may be found in a surge protector. The thermal fuses are wired in series with the varistors; when the varistors conduct, the fuse heats up and fails, which eliminates the risk of fire which can occur when the varistors are overloaded.

    A thermal switch (sometimes thermal cutoff fuse or thermal cutout (TCO)) is a device which normally opens at a high temperature (often with a faint "plink" sound) and re-closes when the temperature drops. The thermal switch is a bimetallic strip often encased in a tubular glass bulb to protect it from dust or short circuit. Unlike the thermal fuse, it is reusable, and is therefore suited to protecting against temporary situations which are common and user-correctable. Thermal switches are used in power supplies in case of overload and also thermostats in heating and cooling systems.
