Heaters are available in the voltage and phase combinations shown below. All are for operation at 50 or 60 Hz. When three-phase is specified, each heating stage will be furnished with a multiple of three elements to give a balanced three-phase load. Voltage 208 240 380 400 415 480 600 Phase 3
Duct Heater Banks- Duct Electric Heaters (1) Heater bank element shall be of the mineral Insulated, or equivalent, type with Integral and fully Insulated Terminals. (2) Heater bank element shall be connected in a three (3) phase star configuration, with the neutral point available, for connection to the heater supply indicated in paragraph 4.2. (3) Each heater bank shall have its own Isolating Switch mounted adjacent to it. (4) Heater banks located in hazardous area shall be certified for use in that area. See Section 9. (5) Heater bank controls shall be electrically interlocked with the air flow switch serving the system, and shall include thermostats to control inside room air temperature. Also, “HIGH SURFACE TEMPERATURE CUT-OUT” thermocouples shall be mounted on the elements. Project Specification - 301-91-EL-SPC-00014 - Page:9 Electricity Supply Characteristics Electrical equipment shall be suitable for operation at the nominal supply voltage indicated below. The a.c. system frequency is 50 Hz.
