GENERAL:1.1 | SCOPE: The following standards apply to electric heating elements| used on industrial equipmen
2、t and operated from line voltage, 480| VAC.1.2 | APPLICATION: If the aggregate power required for the elements is| 2300 VA (5 amperes at 460 VAC) or more, they may be operated| directly from the 480 VAC line provided the elements, enclosures,| and wiring comply with this standard. When the total pow
3、er required| is less than 2300 VA, elements should be operated at 120 VAC and the| current obtained from the control transformer which supplies other| control devices on the equipment.2. | REFERENCE STANDARDS: Whenever a specific standard is mentioned in this| Standard, it is understood it will be t

REQUIREMENTS FOR ELEMENTS:3
6、.1 | The current carrying conductor of the element shall be embedded| inside, and insulated from, a grounded metal sheath. Elements shall| be UL Listed to the UL 1030 standard, or other appropriate UL and| CSA standards for the type involved.3.2 | Terminals on the element shall be rigid, self-suppor
7、ting, and| have phase-to-phase, and phase-to-ground insulation for 600 VAC.Manufacturing StandardsFord Motor Company199409 HEATING ELEMENTS OPERATED FROM EH1LINE VOLTAGEEngineering Standards & Printed copies are uncontrolled.Systems Engineering (ESSE) Page 2 of 43.3 TERMINAL ENCLOSURES:3.3.1 | Termi
8、nals on individual elements used for immersion heating,| platen heating, etc., shall be enclosed in a terminal box| preferably attached as an integral part of the element.| Threaded openings in trade sizes of 1/2 inch and larger shall| be provided in the box for conduit or fittings. Enclosures| shal
9、l be rated Type 12 or Type 13 in accordance with NEMA 250.3.3.2 | On multiple element installations, such as ovens and furnaces| where terminals are enclosed inside a trough or duct,| insulating barriers shall be installed around and over the| terminals to prevent accidental contact by personnel or|
10、 grounding of live parts to the metal enclosure. If plug and| jack quick disconnect assemblies are used on multiple| installations, they shall be approved by the specifying| activity.3.3.3 All terminal enclosures shall be grounded to the industrialequipment by means of bolts, threads, copper strap,
11、or otherapproved means.4. SERIES OPERATION:4.1 | Heating elements rated 230 VAC may be connected in series on 480| VAC if approved for such use by the element manufacturer. If| elements are so connected, all lines of the 480 VAC conductors shall| terminate in the same enclosure. The series connectio
12、ns between| elements may be made in the same enclosure or in one which meets the| requirements of section 3.3 above and located, if necessary, at| opposite ends of the elements.4.2 | Changes from series to parallel connections, or complete isolation| of elements to accomplish changes in temperature
13、output shall be| made by means of electromechanical or solid-state contactors. If| solid-state contactors are used, there shall be an electromechanical| contactor in series to open all the power conductors in accordance| with Standard EX1, section 6. One electromechanical contactor may be| used ahea
14、d of more than one solid-state contactor on equipment| having multiple temperature control zones.Manufacturing StandardsFord Motor Company199409 HEATING ELEMENTS OPERATED FROM EH1LINE VOLTAGEEngineering Standards & Printed copies are uncontrolled.Systems Engineering (ESSE) Page 3 of 44.2.1 | Equipme
15、nt using solid-state heater fuses, contactors, or| controllers shall be provided with load side fuses in each| phase supplying power to the heating elements. This facilitates| insulation resistance Megger testing of the heaters after fuses| are removed to isolate them. If approved in writing by the|
16、 specifying activity, controllers normally furnished with SCRs| and fuses in only two of three phases may be used, provided the| third phase is equipped with a removable copper bar for this| purpose. The copper bar shall be covered by a removable poly-| carbonate (Lexan or equal) shield to protect p
17、ersonnel from| accidental contact with live parts. Plexiglass, acrylic or| other potential combustion-supporting plastic materials shall| not be used for this purpose. This shield shall have the decal| and triangle warning symbol required under section 6 of this| Standard affixed to it in a clearly
18、visible manner.4.3 | DISCONNECTING MEANS: One “Main Electrical Disconnect“ shall be| provided and labeled as such on each piece of industrial equipment| in accordance with Standards ES20 and EX1 and with Ford Safety| Technical Bulletin Numbers 100 and 123. Where switches are remotely| located to con
19、trol individual heating units, they shall be Ford-| approved, NEMA Type 12 enclosures. If an auxiliary disconnect is| required to lock out machine motions, it shall be labeled as a| “Motion Disconnect“ on the machine and on the drawings, and shall be| powered from the load side of the Main Electrica
20、l Disconnect. Other| labels are to be provided for all disconnecting means per the Ford| safety technical bulletins.5. WIRING:5.1 | Wiring at potentials other than 480 VAC shall not terminate in, or| pass through, enclosures containing element terminals and| associated wiring.5.2 | Conductors connec
21、ted to heating elements shall be rated for| continuous operation at the design temperatures expected, including| worst case ambient temperature conditions. Conductors shall be| flexible stranded tinned copper, Type SF-2 or Type SR-ML, or as| otherwise specified.5.3 | Control devices for elements suc
22、h as thermostats, coils of| contactors, etc., shall operate at 120 VAC or a maximum of 240 VDC.| All provisions of Ford Manufacturing Standard EX1 shall be adhered| to wherever applicable.5.4 | All taped joints shall be covered with glass cloth tape which has| thermosetting adhesive.Manufacturing St
