Temperature Compensator 32 (Type 1) is a 32% nickel-iron alloy whose magnetic permeability decreases at a controlled rate with an increase in temperature. It is primarily used in the industrial and consumer industries with its key properties including:
This alloy has been used in electrical circuits to compensate for the effect of variations in ambient temperature. The alloy has been especially useful where compensation is required over a wide range of temperatures, and particularly at high temperatures, as in the shunt used in automobile voltage regulators that are located close to the engine under the hood.
