Using Heater Burnout, Heater Short, and Heater Overcurrent Alarms Section 3-10
V Connecting Lines
Example: Using Two 200-VAC, 2-kW Heaters
The heater burnout current when there is a burnout at the common is as fol-
lows:
Heater burnout detection current = (10 + 5) / 2
≈ 7.5 [A]
The heater burnout current when there is a burnout at the load is as follows:
Heater burnout detection current = (10 + 0) / 2
≈ 5 [A]
To enable detection in either case, use 7.5 A as the heater burnout detection
current.
