Pending Trouble Code Positive temperature coefficient Additional : This is applied to the way the resistance of a thermistor varies with temperature. In this case, the resistance will increase as the temperature is raised

See Positive temperature coefficient (PTC)

Positive Temperature Coefficient. A thermally reactive device which becomes highly resistive at a specific temperature or current.

positive temperature coefficient Pulley a circular disc or wheel used with a belt that grips onto it. There is usually a V-shaped groove cut into the circumference of the pulley to help the belt grip.

"PVUSA Test Conditions." For rating solar modules. PTC watt rating is based on 1000 Watt/m2 solar irradiance, 20 degree Celsius ambient temperature, and 1 meter/second wind speed. Since Cell temperatures of modules are much higher than ambient temperature, the PTC watt rating is significantly lower than the "Standard Test Conditions" ( STC), a watt-rating used by manufacturers.

Positive temperature coefficient. A PTC thermistor is one whose zero-power resistance increases with an increase in temperature.

a device that switches from a low-resistance to a high-resistance state at a specific temperature; placed in line with a circuit, it is widely used as a current limiter; if a short circuit occurs, the increasing current through the device causes it to heat up and increase its resistance, which in turn reduces current flow

Positive Temperature Coefficient Term used for a component where the resistance increases as the temperature increases. This type of sensor is not as common as the NTC type used on most cars where the resistance decreases as the temperature increases
