necting the NWHO-27 series heater.
4. Three 3 phase circuits is a typical design for these heaters. Other
circuit arrangements are often supplied depending upon customer
specifications or amperage rating. Check engineering drawing for
specific wiring diagram of custom orders.
OPERATION
1. Do not heat materials that are corrosive to the heating element
sheath or chamber. For oil heating service, condensate drain may
