Your AC Thermostat silently works for you day and night 24×7.
How Does It Work? AC Thermostats are simple little devices that use a bimetallic strip concocted from two different types of metal that are laminated together. Mounted on the bi-metal strip is a glass vial partially filled with mercury.
As the vial is tilted on the back on the bi-metal strip, the mercury flows to the end of the vial where two electrical contacts are exposed. When the mercury envelopes those electrical contacts, a low voltage circuit is made, thanks to the fact that mercury is conductive. This works just like a light switch and makes a circuit to turn on the heater or A/C.
The separate metals were deliberately chosen to make up the strip due to their specific rates of expansion and contraction that differ from one to the other.
The wired thermostat is engineered for a system featuring five wires:
G – The G wire relays the fan to turn on.
W – The W wire relays the heating system on.
Y – The Y wires relays to switch the cooling system on.
RC – This wire derives from the 24VAC transformer in conjunction with the air-conditioning system.
RH – This wire comes from the 24VAC transformer in relation to the heating system.
