Applications

The versatility of electric heaters permits
them to be used in almost any conceivable
location indoors or outdoors, exposed to
the weather. Chromalox provides a variety of
electrical terminal enclosures to match the
unique requirements of virtually any environ­ment.

Features

E1 General Purpose Enclosure —Suitable
for most indoor or protected commercial and
industrial applications.

E2 Combination Moisture Resistant and Ex­plosion Proof Enclosures —Type E2 explo-

sion proof terminal enclosures are intended
for use in hazardous locations. Refer to the
following table for details.

Type E2 terminal enclosures are provided
with gaskets and are suitable for outdoor or
wet locations as well as hazardous areas.

E4 Moisture Resistant Enclosure —Suitable
for outdoor or wet locations. The terminal
covers are provided with water-tight gaskets
to seal the electrical terminals and connec­tions from the environment.

Special Requirements for Electric
Heaters & Terminal Enclosures in
Hazardous Locations:

Wiring —The proper use of Type E2 terminal
enclosures on electric heaters located in haz­ardous areas requires that all electrical wiring
comply with National Electrical Code (NEC)
and IEC requirements for hazardous locations.

Maximum Temperatures —Safe operation in
a hazardous location requires the maximum
operating temperatures of all exposed surfac­es of the heater including temperatures on the
outside of the vessel, piping, flanges, screw
plugs, enclosures and other heat conducting
parts be limited. The maximum surface tem­perature permitted in any hazardous location
is determined by the flammable liquids, vapors
or gases present. The end user or purchaser of
the electric heating equipment is responsible
for determining the proper classification of an
area and for providing Chromalox with hazard­ous area specifications and requirements for
proper equipment design. (NEC Articles 500
and 501 provide guidelines for evaluating and
classifying hazardous locations.)

Safety Devices — Approved pressure and/
or temperature limiting controls must be used
on electric heaters and heating elements to
ensure safe operation in the event of system
malfunctions.

Note 1 — Class I Group B locations include

Hydrogen gas. These areas require additional
conduit seals and thread engagement. Contact
your Local Chromalox Sales office for heaters
and terminal enclosures suitable for Class I
Group B hazardous locations.
