WHAT IS COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL AND MILITARY OPERATING TEMPERATURE?

The temperature range in which an electrical or mechanical device can operate in a healthy way is called the operating temperature range. All components that make up the device must be working effectively between the specified lower and upper temperature values. It will not be safe for devices to operate in conditions outside this range. Although not every exceedance causes a disruption, exceedances should not be allowed. Due to the properties of the parts used or the precautions taken regarding temperature, devices that perform the same functions can be manufactured to operate in different temperature ranges. Of course, the costs of devices made to achieve wider operating conditions are also higher. The user should decide which type of product to use, taking into account his own conditions. When making this decision, they should consider the most extreme conditions they may encounter. In some cases, it may be more practical to stabilize the ambient temperature rather than keeping the operating range of the devices wide. The decision maker is expected to make the most effective design by considering all possibilities.

Basically, three different operating ranges are defined. The commercial operating range describes devices designed for use in daily life, while the industrial operating range describes more demanding conditions. Military operating range is a term used to describe the most severe conditions. However, the operating range of each device produced is specifically stated in their catalogs.

THE GENERALLY ACCEPTED INTERVALS FOR WORKING INTERVALS ARE LISTED BELOW:

In addition, different producers may have different definitions for themselves. In particular, the definitions set by industry leaders are widely used.
