Example: Using Three 200-VAC, 1-kW Heaters
The heater power supply provides 15 A when the current is normal, and 10 A when there is
a burnout, so the heater burnout detection current is calculated as follows:
(2) Three-phase Heaters
(a) Delta Connecting Lines
Example: Using Three 200-VAC, 2-kW Heaters
The current when each phase is normal is 17.3 A (≈ √3 × 10 A).
The heater burnout current when there is a burnout at the load line is as follows:
(Heater burnout detection current) = (17.3 + 15) / 2
= 16.15 [A]

Current when there is a burnout =
10 A × √3 × (√3/2) = 15 A
Current when there is a burnout =
10 A × √3 × (1/√3) = 10 A
