FT-C Vertical Electric Thermal Fluid Heater Manual 12 2013 ISSUE 1
Normal supply will be 400 volts, 3 phase, 50 Hz, AC unless otherwise specied.
Make sure the information on the electrical drawing corresponds to your voltage and frequency.
Check the supply voltage and make sure that there is no over-or under-voltage exceeding 10%
of the nominal value.
a) A wall-mounted, fused disconnect sized for the unit must be provided and tted by the
client/contractor, if a disconnect is not supplied on the panel.
b) Fuses must be sized according to motor name plates and local electrical codes.
c) Heaters and single skid systems are generally shipped completely prewired. The liquid level
switch on the expansion tank, when supplied, will be shipped in the parts box and must be
installed in the eld. Multiple skid systems may require wiring between the skids.
d) If the unit is not skid-mounted at the factory, the client/contractor is required to wire the
circulating pump starter.
e) When using a SCR, a Shunt Trip Breaker is required to be installed by the customer. It will
be used to remove power to the panel in the event of an over temperature/pressure
condition. The Shunt Trip Coil needs to be wired to the boiler electrical panel as indicated on
the electrical drawing.
If the circulating pump motor is not supplied by Fulton Ltd, the motor starter will not be supplied.
Certain properties of thermal uid, including low surface tension, make it necessary to pay
particular attention to containing the uid. Good pipework system design, welded construction,
proper anging, gaskets, and other appropriate means of eliminating potential leakage must be
employed.
