Description
The self-regulating heating element regulates its heat
output in response to changes in temperature. The highly engineered, irradiated
conductive core increases its heat output when the temperature falls and
decreases its heat output when the temperature rises.
To help protect against impact and mechanical abuse, the
heating element is available with either a 100% tinned copper or 100% stainless
steel braid and is approved by Factory Mutual for use in Class I, Division 2,
Groups B,C, and D; Class II, Division 2, Groups F and G; and Class III, Division
2 areas. It is rated T5 per NEC 500-3(b), and is U.L. recognized under the
Appliance Wire Classification (file E 76498).
Please note: The 1990 National Electric Code requires
that "ground fault protection of equipment shall be provided for branch circuits
supplying electric heating equipment NOT having a metal covering."
Applications
Basic
Design - Resists most aqueous inorganic chemicals. Ordinary
use only.
Tinned copper braid option Ground return and mechanical
protection in non-corrosive applications.
Stainless steel braid
option - Mechanical protection in mildly corrosive
applications.
Tinned copper braid with
thermoplastic elastomer jacket option - Mechanical protection
in corrosive applications. Tinned
copper braid with fluoropolymer jacket option
- Protection where exposure to organic chemicals or corrosives is expected.
Monitor wire option - Allows for continuous
monitoring of both bus wires for
continuity. |
