Wax Motor

Automated excerpt

When the heat source is removed, the wax block contracts as it cools and the wax solidifies. Because the wax motor is a resistive load rather than an inductive load, wax motors controlled by TRIACs do not require snubber circuits. Wax motors are widely used to operate the temperature regulating vents of greenhouses.
