13、 1 BS 7797 : 1998 Specification 1 Scope This British Standard specifies requirements for industrial electric heaters with a rated voltage of up to 440 V, using metal-sheathed elements and installed in a duct run, for heating in forced air systems or for heating of non-flammable gases. The heaters ma
14、y have fixed, replaceable or removable elements. 2 Normative references This British Standard incorporates, by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are made at the appropriate places in the text and the cited publications are listed on the inside
15、 back cover. For dated references, only the edition cited applies: any subsequent amendments to or revisions of the cited publication apply to this British Standard only when incorporated in the reference by amendment or revision. For undated references, the latest edition of the cited publication a
16、pplies, together with any amendments. 3 Definitions For the purposes of this British Standard, the following definitions apply. 3.1 (metal-sheathed heating) element A heating assembly comprising a resistance alloy within, and insulated from, a tubular metal sheath. 3.2 duct heater An assembly of met
17、al-sheathed heating element(s), associated controls and wiring, installed in a duct run. 3.3 terminal enclosure The enclosure in which the elements are terminated. NOTE. Other electrical equipment can be contained within the enclosure; for example, thermostats, pressure switches, contactors, transfo
18、rmers, fuses. 3.4 fixed element An element which is permanently attached to its supporting body by adhesive bonding, soldering, brazing or welding. 3.5 replaceable element An element which can only be removed with the aid of a tool, normally after removal of the element bundle from its containment d

22、temperature limiter A temperature-sensing device, the operating temperature of which may be either fixed or adjustable and which, during normal operation, operates by opening or closing a heater circuit when the temperature reaches a predetermined value. NOTE. A temperature limiter does not make the
23、 reverse operation during the normal duty cycle of the heater. It may or may not require manual resetting. 3.14 thermal cut-out A device which, during abnormal operation, limits the temperature of a heater, or of parts of it, by opening the circuit or by reducing the current, and which is so constru
24、cted that its setting cannot be altered by the user. 3.15 basic insulation Insulation applied to live parts to provide basic protection against electric shock. NOTE. Basic insulation does not necessarily include insulation used exclusively for functional purposes. 3.16 supplementary insulation Indep
25、endent insulation applied in addition to basic insulation, for protection against electric shock in the event of a failure of the basic insulation. 3.17 double insulation Insulation comprising both basic insulation and supplementary insulation. 3.18 reinforced insulation A single insulation system a
26、pplied to live parts that provides a degree of protection against electric shock equivalent to double insulation. NOTE. The term insulation system does not imply that the insulation is one homogeneous piece. It may comprise several layers that cannot be tested singly.2 BSI 1998 BS 7797 : 1998 3.19 s
27、tud terminal Screw-type terminal in which the conductor is clamped under one or two nuts. The clamping pressure may be applied directly by a suitably shaped nut or through an intermediate part, such as a washer, clamping plate or anti-spread device. 3.20 pillar terminal Screw-type terminal in which
28、the conductor is inserted into a hole or cavity, where it is clamped under the shank of a screw or screws. The clamping pressure may be applied directly by the shank of the screw or through an intermediate part to which pressure is applied by the shank of the screw. 3.21 screw terminal Screw-type te
29、rminal in which the conductor is clamped under a bolt and washer, the bolt passing through a fixed nut or threaded bush. 3.22 creepage distance The path between two conductive parts, or between a conductive part and the bounding surface of the element, measured across the surface of the insulating m
30、aterial. 3.23 clearance The distance between two conductive parts, or between a conductive part and the bounding surface of the element, measured through air. 4 Heating elements All the heating elements shall conform to BS 7351 : 1990. 5 Rating 5.1 Rated voltage Heaters shall be rated for a line vol
31、tage not greater than 440 V. NOTE. The requirements of this standard are based on the assumption that, in normal use, the voltage between the supply lines and neutral does not exceed 254 V. 5.2 Rated power The actual power output from the heater at the operating temperature, on application of the ra
32、ted voltage, shall not vary from the rated power output by more than the tolerances given in table 1, when verified in accordance with A.1. Table 1. Power output Rated power kW Tolerance % 0t o5 0 7.5 $ 51 5.5 6 Degree of protection The minimum degree of protection provided by heater enclosures shal
33、l be in accordance with IP 20 of BS EN 60529 : 1992. 7 Electrical insulation 7.1 The mounting of electrically insulating parts shall be designed so as to prevent breakage or damage due to expansion and contraction. 7.2 Electrically insulating washers, bushings and the like, which are integral parts
34、of the heater, and bases or supports of the mounting of current-carrying parts shall be of a moisture-resistant material which will not be damaged by the temperatures to which they will be subjected under conditions of actual use. 7.3 The insulation between any parts operating at extra-low voltage a
35、nd other live parts, and between the core of the isolating transformer and other metal parts, shall be as specified in BS 3535 : Part 1 and Part 2. 7.4 Parts which serve as supplementary insulation or reinforced insulation shall either: a) be fixed in such a way that they cannot be removed without b
36、eing seriously damaged; or b) be designed so that they cannot be replaced in an incorrect position, and so that, if they are omitted, the appliance is rendered inoperable or manifestly incomplete. NOTE 1. Sleeving may be used as supplementary insulation on internal wiring, if it can only be removed
37、by breaking or cutting, or if it is clamped at both ends. NOTE 2. Lining metal enclosures with a coating of lacquer, or with other material in the form of a coating which can be easily removed by scraping, is not deemed to meet this requirement. 7.5 Inside the terminal enclosure, the sheath of a fle
38、xible cable or cord shall only be used as supplementary insulation where it is not subject to undue mechanical or thermal stresses and if its insulating properties are not less than those specified for the sheaths of flexible cables and cords in BS 6004, BS 6007, or BS 6500. 8 Thermal insulation 8.1
39、 Thermal insulation materials shall not make contact with the heating element. 8.2 Where terminal enclosures are stood off from the mounting plate to give cooling via natural convection, the stand-off areas shall not be thermally insulated.
