Controls are determined by finding the amperage per line and multiplying by 1.25 factor.
For single phase or two wire power supplies to heaters:
| AMP Rating Per Pole* | = |
|
For three phase balanced power supplies (Delta or Wye connections) to heaters using a three-pole contactor.
| AMP Rating Per Pole* | = |
|
Contactor Sizing: *Amp rating per pole x1.25 = contactor rating.
TECH ADVICE
Avoid exposing your Heater Terminal Box to excessive moisture
Handle your Fluoropolymer heater with care
Maximum temperature for chemical resistance
