1 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION
A Duct Heater is a self contained heater designed to be
installed in the field in an air stream of a duct system,
external to the air moving unit. It is designed to be
installed in a duct where an adequate flow of air from a
separate, interlocked fan or blower system is insured.
Such a heater may be located in a main supply duct of a
warm air heating system, in one of the branch ducts, or
used as a room heater, at the end of a branch duct.
In this catalogue, pricing and detailed data are
given regarding application and usage of the
various required and optional equipment.

Service
Department (UL Reference Number E33694)
ranging from five hundred watts to one million
watts, to fit ducts from a minimum of six inch height
x ten inch width to a maximum of eighty inches
height x twenty feet in width. This range makes the
duct heater the most versatile type of heating
system.
Inducto Duct Heaters are approved for zero
clearance to combustible surfaces, and meet all UL,
and 1975 National Electrical Code requirements.
Heaters are available for 120, 208, 240, 277, 480,
550, and 600 volt electrical rating, single or three
phase with control voltages of 24, 120. 208, 240 or
277 volts. Inducto Duct Heaters are packaged
units, completely wired for simple connection to the
power supply system. With the cover removed. line
terminals are completely exposed in a large
terminal box. Conduit knockouts and detailed wiring
diagrams are included in each unit.
Electric Duct heaters are an ideal answer for the heating
system designer, because of electricity's inherent
cleanliness as a fuel, their adaptability for use with other
comfort conditioning components, such as humidifiers,
de-humidifiers, electronic filters and heat pumps, and
their flexibility for use with a variety of control systems to
maintain the precise temperature desired. Markel has

B - TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
1 - Prime Heating: Inducto Heaters are supplying
prime heat in thousands of installations throughout
the United States and foreign countries. They are
used to heat all types of industrial and commercial
buildings, schools, hospitals, churches, residences,
and for all types of remodeling.
2 - Air Handling Equipment: Manufacturers of
cooling and air handling equipment have found
electric heating coils to be a valuable addition to
their air handling units. Inducto Heating Coils are
built to replace and fit into space provided for other
types of heating coils. Usually no re-design or
alteration of present equipment is necessary.
3 - Heat Pumps: Inducto Heaters are used as
supplementary heat with heat pumps. When
outside temperatures drop below the efficiency
range of the heat pump, the heating coils provide
the necessary additional heat.

6 - Multiple Heaters in a Single Duct: Inducto
Duct Heaters are designed as single units in all
applications except where height dimension
exceeds 80". Heaters above 80" will be
furnished in two or more flanged sections for
stacking one on top of the other, for simplifying
shipping and field installation. A special foot
design is furnished with these flange units for
easy mounting when stacked. Automatic
A deeper flange is required so that the inside of
the flanged housing is flush with the surface of
the insulation and the face of the terminal
compartment is recessed to the depth of the
insulation.

resetting temperature limits are furnished in
each heater section, with provisions for wiring
them in series in the field. Built-in accessories,
such as contactors, and fusing, are also available.
Separate power lines are required for each
section.
When preferred, heaters with a long "W"
dimension can be divided into two separate units
and one installed from each side of the duct.
B - DIMENSIONAL DATA
The HF series terminal compartment depth "E"
is normally 4 1/2", however it may be increased
when necessary. The "H" and "W" dimensions
are the actual duct height and width. "C" and
"M" dimensions depend on several factors and
must be calculated by the factory engineering
department, however where conditions limit the
size this must be specified.
The HF series compartment has a solid cover
that is hinged on the top or otherwise, also a
latch is provided. A support bridge is installed
on the bottom of the element enclosure on all
heaters when "W" dimension exceeds two (2)
feet. (See figure 1, 2 and 3).
FIGURE 9-Typical Insert Heater
FIGURE 11 - Bottom Terminal Box
C - CORROSION PROTECTION
Inducto Duct Heaters are constructed of the
highest grade galvanized steel
(standard),
aluminized
(optional).
All
other
metal
components
are
either
zinc
plated
or
constructed of stainless steel. This type of
protection gives longer life and prevents damage
by moisture from cooling systems.
D-INSULATION
Each heater is manufactured with a 1/2"
fiberglass board insulation between the control
box and the duct area. This type of insulation
gives maximum protection against moisture
condensation as well as thermal insulation. In
installations where noise is a factor, such as high
rise apartments, this type of insulation absorbs
part of the air movement sound.
E- HEATING ELEMENT
1 - Open Coil Type: The open coil
element offers many advantages over the
sheath type. One of the greatest assets is
its longer life. The open coil releases its
heat
directly
into
the
air
stream,
transferring
its energy faster, and
therefore
operating
at
a
cooler
temperature. The sheath type element
must release its energy through an
insulation and the metal outside sheath.
Due
to
this
slower
transfer,
life
expectancy
is
reduced
and
service
requirements increased. In some cases,
the insulation may contain voids, in
which case, the conduction is reduced
creating possible burn-outs. The open
coil gives greater adaptability in design
and lower pressure drop across the unit.
This feature can help the systems
designer maintain a lower static pressure,
and thereby reduce the air handling
power requirements, design and system
costs.

CONSTRUCTION - Page 5
G - ELEMENT TERMINATION
The coil is mechanically connected to the high
temperature No. 10 stainless steel terminal screw
by means of a loop of element wire being
sandwiched between two stainless steel washers.
Since a large area of element wire is used in
making the connection, burn-outs due to nicked
wire at the connection are minimized. The
terminal is insulated by a two piece mating male
and female ceramic bushing.
The low mass coil releases heat
immediately
after
being
energized
and
cools
quickly
after
being
de-energized.
The low thermal inertia results in more
precise temperature control.
2 - Element Construction: The Inducto Duct
Heater elements are constructed of high grade
resistance wire. Each element is coiled to the
customer's wattage specification in our plant,
assuring high quality elements with a closely
controlled resistance. Each element is checked
when produced, and again upon installation in
the heater.
Inducto heating element coils are designed for
low watt density loading of the surface area of
the wire (40 to 60 watts per square inch). A
heavier than normal guage wire is used, giving a
longer coil to maintain required resistance for a
given
wattage.
This
results
in
lower
coil
operating
temperature
which
eliminates
glow
under standard operating conditions because of
the greatly increased surface area and also gives a
sturdier element for longer life.
F - MODULAR FRAME AND CHANNEL
RACK
The HF series heaters are furnished with a new
galvanized,
(aluminized
optional)
modular
frame. This design has made it possible for easier
servicing in the field should this be necessary.
The new HF channel rack has been designed to
give added rigidity and also improved heat
dissipation due to staggering of the rows of
heating elements. (See Below)
FIGURE 13 - Element Termination
H - INSULATING BUSHINGS
The high temperature special ceramic bushings,
which insulate the coils from supporting metal,
float freely in specially designed element racks.
The floating ceramics will not crack or bind due
to heating and cooling of the element.
I - STEEL WELDED SAFETY SCREEN
When the requirements for additional safety
from possible contact to the heating elements of
a duct heater, either from entering air or leaving
air side, a screening material is available factory
installed and UL approved as an option. Refer to
Optional Pricing Section.
J - ELECTRIC DUCT HEATERS FOR
MULTI-ZONE APPLICATIONS
For many years Inducto has been developing
and
manufacturing
heaters
for
multi-zone
applications. This type of application has been
used in office buildings, auditoriums, schools,
and many other constructions where different
conditioning is required at one time.
The air flows in this type of unit are controlled
FIGURE 12 - Typical Channel Rack

Page 6 -CONSTRUCTION
6 - CAPILLARY TYPE AUTOMATIC AND
MANUAL RESETS
Each heater contains double protection in the
use of the capillary type automatic and manual
reset limits. Both types of safety devices have
capillaries extending the full length of the. heater
and can sense thermal overload at any point
along its length. Upon sensing the over
temperature the unit is shut down.
by hot deck and cold deck dampers, each having
a possible air flow from zero to 100 percent.
Therefore a zone calling for 100 percent heat
would have its cold damper closed and the hot
damper fully open. The opposite is true when
100 percent cold air is required. Two adjacent
zones, serving separate sections of a building,
could have the dampers in an opposite position
mode. This results in a variable air flow pattern
across the heating coil.
Therefore, special considerations must be made
when designing an electric heater for the'
multi-zone application.
These special design characteristics are as
follows:
7 - DISTANCE TO DAMPERS
The distance between zone dampers and the coil
should be at least 18 inches. If this distance is
not maintained, overheating of the coil may
result.
8 - CONTROLLING MEANS
The stages of the heating coil should be
controlled by a temperature sensing device
placed in the leaving air stream. The steps of the
heater should be decreased as the rise
requirements are decreased. This decreases the
density of the coil as less temperature rise is
required and air flow decreased.
All of the Inducto multi-zone heaters are
constructed with open coil elements because of
their better operating characteristics over the
finned tubular elements. These advantages are
discussed on page 10 section II Construction paragraph E.
The combination of Inducto multi-zone heaters
and multi-zone units should be made in
accordance with NEC and local governing codes.
The Inducto multi-zone heaters will be built in
accordance with
Underwriters Laboratories
Standards; however, they will not bear the UL
label due to the vast testing required of the
many different combinations.
1 - LOW DENSITY ELEMENTS
Low watt density coils are required to reduce
surface temperatures to a minimum during low
air flow operation. The Inducto elements are
derated to one-half or less than the normal watt
density. This prolongs element life and decreases
radiation.
2 - MINIMUM NUMBER OF STEPS
Due to the various amounts of KW required and
space available in the hot decks, each application
must be considered separately as to the number
of steps. In any case, less than three steps are
not recommended. The greater the number of
steps, the greater the uniformity of temperature
control.
3- FREE AREA
Each multi-zone unit must have the electric
heater specifically designed for its free area of
air flow. All restrictions as to air flow must be
considered in order to assure that all regulating
and safety controls are in the air stream as well
as the entire face of the heater. This assures that
safety limits are able to function properly giving
maximum protection and eliminating undue
cycling which would decrease element life.
4 - ELIMINATION OF STRATIFICATION
In order to prevent stratification and use the
maximum amount of air flowing across the coil,
each step should have a spread across the full
face of the heater. This is necessary especially
when only one or two dampers are open.
5-BAFFLE PLATES
Perforated baffle plates should be provided on
the air inlet side of the heater to assure an even
air distribution across the face of the coil. This is
an important function in low air flow usage of
the coil.

A-GENERAL DESIGN INFORMATION
TEMPERATURE RISE
The air temperature rise through the heater is 9
factor of great importance. The chart should be
consulted for the temperature rise expected to
result from the air flow and watt density used.
1 - The Temperature Rise Chart (Fig. 1) aids
in calculating requirements or results from the
known factors of FPM, CFM, Temperature Rise,
Total KW, or KW per square foot. If two related
factors are known, the others can be
determined.
EXAMPLE B
VELOCITY (FPM)-WATT DENSITY (KW PER
SQ. FT.) To find the watt density (KW per sq.
ft.) at a given temperature rise and F.P.M. of air,
use bottom and left scales.
EXAMPLE: To find the heat input in a duct
handling 700 F.P.M. of air, with a temperature
rise of 60ºF.
1. Draw a line vertically up from the 700
F.P.M. on the bottom scale to the 60°F.
temperature rise line.
2. From the point of intersection draw a
horizontal line to the left side scale giving
13.5 KW per sq. ft. of duct area.
2 - Minimum Velocity Requirements: Electric
duct heaters are different from steam or hot
water coils, in that the B.T.U. output remains
constant as long as the heater is energized. To
eliminate over-heating and burn out due to low
air velocity, an automatic re-set temperature
limiting control is built into each heater. The
minimum velocity required to prevent nuisance
tripping of the temperature limiting control is
determined from the air velocity chart (Fig.
2 on the basis of entering air temperature, and
watts per square foot of cross sectional duct
area.
CFM
CAUTION - DO NOT OPERATE WITHOUT
PROPER AIR FLOW
For efficient and trouble free operation it is
important that air flow be adequate over the
complete heating area and particularly at
element terminals. No electric duct heater
should ever be operated with insufficient air
flow because overheating and subsequent
malfunction may result. The minimum air
velocity required at any point should be
determined from the graph following.

NOTES:
(A) For values above or below those on the scale, multiply or
divide the known factors by a convenient number. Make the
necessary calculations on the chart, then multiply or divide the
answer by the original number for the actual value.
(B) If any two factors are known the third may be calculated in
a similar manner.
EXAMPLE A
Air (CFM)-(KW) Total Heat Required
To find the total heat required at a given
temperature rise and CFM, use the top and right
scales.

C.F.M.
1. Draw a line vertically down from the
12,000 C.F.M. on the top scale to the
40°F. temperature rise line.
2. From the point of intersection draw a
horizontal line to the right side scale.

SOURCES
BEFORE DOING ANY WORK ON THE HEATER
INSTALLATION.
1. Use the wiring diagram supplied with the heater as a
guide in correlating field wiring with the heater internal
wiring. If there is more than one heating step, wire the
unit so the steps are energized in the same sequence as
numbered in the heater.
2. All field wiring to the heater must meet the
requirements of the N.E.C. and applicable local codes.
3. Wiring to the heater must be rated for 75° C. minimum.
4. Supply conductors must be sized to carry at least 125%
of the ampere load of the circuit it supplies.
5. For low voltage control circuits, use NEC Class 1 wiring
as described in Article 725 of the National Electrical
Code.
6. The fan must be interlocked with the heater so that the
heater is not energized unless the fan is on. A typical
method of accomplishing this is shown on the wiring
diagram, if it is not built in.
7. If contactors are field supplied, they must have adequate
ratings for the load carried and be UL listed for 100,000
cycles of operation. Do not exceed the control circuit
volt-ampere rating marked at the control terminal block.
8. If heater does not have a built-in disconnect switch or
main circuit breaker, install a remote disconnect (furnished by others) in accordance with the National Electrical Code, Article 424-65.
9. Do not bundle, tie or wrap power wiring in groups as
this may cause over-heating and eventual breakdown of
insulation.
10. For low voltage control circuits using two supply
transformers with a heating-cooling thermostat, one for
heating and one for cooling, a thermostat with isolating
contacts must be used to prevent interconnection of the
two different circuits.
Caution: For successful service using aluminum wiring,
special treatment of all connections is an absolute necessity
in order to prevent high resistance and oxidation problems.
For recommended practice check with your local electrical
utility.
OVERCURRENT PROTECTION
UL requires compliance with paragraph 424-22 (b) of the National Electrical Code as follows: "Electric space heating
equipment employing resistance type heating elements
rated more than 48 amperes shall have the heating elements
subdivided. Each subdivided load shall not exceed 48
amperes and shall be protected at not more than 60
amperes."
This means that sub-circuit overcurrent protection must be
provided if the total heater load exceeds 48 amperes. If overcurrent protection is not built-in, all heaters exceeding 48
amperes total line current are divided into a sufficient
number of sub-circuits, each provided with line terminals for
connection to remote overcurrent protection.
The required minimum size of supply conductors is marked
at the field wiring terminals within the heater control box,
however for reference the following table is included. The
wire gauges are calculated for 125% of the heater line
current as required by the National Electrical Code, Article
424-3 (b) based on conductor insulation rated for 75° C
(167° F)
(1) For 7-24 conductors in a raceway or cable reduce
allowable heater line currents to 87 ½ % of those shown
above.
(2) Based on 30° C (86 °F) ambient temperature. For higher
ambient temperature, see N.E.C. table 310-16 and
310-18 Note 13.
(3) Based on 80% of ratings in table 310-16 N.E.C. for 75 °C

CONTROL COMPARTMENT COVER
5.11 Except as indicated in paragraph 5.13, the
door or cover of an enclosure shall be hinged (1)
if it gives access to any fuse, circuit breaker, or
manually resettable temperature control in other
than a low-voltage circuit, and (2) if uninsulated
live parts are exposed during the normal
replacement of the fuse or resetting of the
manually resettable device. Such a door or cover
shall also be provided with an automatic latch,
see paragraph 5.15, or the equivalent and, if live
parts other than the screw shell of a plug
fuseholder are exposed inside the enclosure, a
captive screw or equivalent means, requiring the

or cover in place. See paragraph 5.12.
5.15 A spring latch, a magnetic latch, a dimple,
or any other mechanical arrangement that will
hold the door closed, and would require some
effort on the user's part to open it, is considered
to be a suitable means for holding the door
closed as required in paragraph 5.11.
5.12 The captive screw may be omitted from
the door or cover over the compartment housing
the uninsulated live parts if it is provided in the
cover that must be opened to gain access to the
door or cover. Arrangements employing two
mating hinged doors are acceptable where the
automatic latch and captive screw are provided
only on one door (1) if that door is designed to
be opened first and closed last, and (2) if the
latch and screw will hold the other door closed.

44.2 If spacings between combustible material
and the duct in which a duct heater is installed
must be no less than a specified distance to
prevent attainment of hazardous temperatures
on that material, the heater shall bear a suitable
warning marking to convey this information. See
paragraph 36.6.
36.6 A duct heater rated 50 kilowatts (kw) or
less shall be suitable for installation with zero
spacing between the duct and combustible
surfaces. A duct heater rated more than 50 kw
may necessitate that such spacings be larger than
zero.
All Inducto duct heater control compartments.
whether integral or remote, are provided with a
piano type hinge on the longest cover dimension
or on any side specified.
All covers are provided with an approved latch
requiring a tool to open and a pull ring to

5 - Power Wire Sizing:
If a long run of wire is required or more than
three wires are run in a conduit the allowable
capacity on a given wire size must be reduced as
per NEC requirements (see note 13 to NEC
Table 310-16 and 310-18)
MAXIMUM AMP LOAD ALLOWED ON VARIOUS
WIRE SIZES FOR. FIELD WIRING TO DUCT HEATERS
De-Rated 20%
1 - Single phase power circuits: Each circuit
consists of a heating coil (or coils connected
parallel) which cannot exceed 48 amp for
over-current protection.
A single stage heater may be controlled directly
by a line voltage thermostat without using a
controlling contactor if the heater rating is
within the rating of the thermostat, the
over-temperature protection controls and the
fan interlock.
Larger loads are controlled by contactors, S.C.R.
controllers or load carrying step controllers.
2 - Balanced Three Phase Power Circuits: Each
circuit cannot exceed 48 amp for over-current
protection and consists of three (or a multiple of
three) heating coils factory connected in delta or
wye system at the factory's option. The load
will be balanced (equal) among the three phases
and the entire circuit is controlled as a unit and
operates identically whether the power source is
three or four wire. Therefore a neutral terminal
is not furnished on balanced circuits.
Each circuit is normally controlled by a
contactor which in turn is controlled by a
thermostat or step controller in the control
circuit.

As standard practice balanced three phase
circuits will be furnished for three phase power
unless single phase circuits from three phase
power are specified.
2 - Overcurrent Protection: The NEC par. 424-22
states:
(b) Resistance Elements. Electric space
heating equipment employing resistance-type
heating elements rated more than 48 amperes
shall have the heating elements subdivided. Each
subdivided load shall not exceed 48 amperes and
shall be protected at not more than 60 amperes.
(c)
Overcurrent, Protective Devices. The
overcurrent protective devices specified in (b)
above shall be: (1) factory-installed within or on
the heater enclosure or provided as a separate
assembly by the heater manufacturer; (2)
accessible, but shall not be required to be readily
accessible; and (3) suitable for branch-circuit
protection.
Where cartridge fuses are used to provide this
overcurrent protection, a single, disconnecting
means shall be permitted to be used for the
several subdivided loads.
Fuses and circuit breakers are available with the
heaters, to meet the above requirements, either
built in the terminal box or built in a panel for
remote mounting (see "D - Remote Control
Panels").
The overcurrent protection (fusing or circuit
breakers) must be sized at least 125% of the
circuit load it protects. For example, 60 amp
fuses are required for a 48 amp load. The
maximum KW allowed per various voltages is
shown in table 6.
For heaters drawing 48 amp or less total load,
the branch circuit fusing at the distribution
panel usually meets the NEC requirements,
however, supplementary fusing for each stage
within the heater can be furnished if specified.
As standard practice, small stages will be
grouped to a maximum of 48 amp and fused as
one circuit. This conserves space and is more
economical while meeting all NEC requirements,
however, each stage will be protected separately
when specified.
Dual element fuses are available when specified.
See Pricing Section.
3 - SINGLE PHASE CIRCUITS FROM THREE
PHASE POWER SUPPLY
If the power supply to the heater is three phase
and the heater circuits are to be controlled by:
load carrying switches of a step controller, single
phase S.C.R. controllers, or similar load carrying
device, single phase circuits from three phase
power must be specified. Whether the power
supply is three or four wire system must also be
/
specified.
For three wire systems each circuit is connected
between alternate pairs of phases using the delta
configuration. When any multiple of three
circuits are heating, the load will be balanced.
For four wire systems each single phase circuit is
connected between one phase and the neutral
using alternate phases for consecutive circuits.
NOTE: Some SCR controllers or load carrying
step controllers cannot accept the automatic
over-temperature limits in a control circuit to
de-energize the heater immediately should an
over-temperature condition occur. If this is
the case, magnetic contactors, which are
controlled
by
the
primary,
automatic,
over-temperature
cutouts,
must
also
be
connected in the load circuit to de-energize
the heater preventing over-heating.

INSTRUCTIONS
RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE
FOR ALUMINUM TERMINATIONS
GENERAL
To help guard against overheating, the following
procedure is recommended when connecting
aluminum wire.
PROCEDURE
Step 1. Strip the wire of its insulation to the
desired length without ringing or nicking the
wire.
Step 2. Wire brush the stripped portion of
conductor thoroughly.
Step 3. Thoroughly coat stripped conductor
with
oxide inhibiting compound. (Two
recognized compounds are Penetrox A and
Alnox-UG. There may be others available which
will do equally well.)
Step 4. Insert the conductor into the connector
making certain all strands are contained and
tighten the connector screws securely. This
operation should result in the compound oozing
out from between the individual strands of the
conductor. If this does not happen, this is an
indication that an insufficient quantity of
compound was used.
Step 5. Wipe excess compound from area
adjacent to connection because some
compounds contain metallic particles and could
reduce the dielectric strength of the insulating
materials employed.
FIGURE 3 -Typical Circuit Breaker
3 - Power Supply Connections: A heavy duty
terminal block, or blocks, are provided in
Inducto Duct Heaters for each field wiring
connection for both control and power circuits.
The number of power supply circuits required to
a duct heater may depend on the components
that are built in. See built-in fusing and
contactor sections, IV-C-2 and IV-C-4 for an
explanation of our standard practice.
All field connection terminal blocks are designed
to accommodate either copper or aluminum
conductors as required by NEC and UL 1975.
4 - Built-in Magnetic Contactors: For use as
primary
controlling contactors
and for
secondary (backup) contactors (see secondary
protection).
Contactors are built-in only when specified.
One, two, three and four pole are available with
ratings as shown in figures 5, 6, and 7 and
with holding coil voltages of 24, 120, 208/240,
or 277V. The holding coil data, symbol and part
number (where applicable) are also listed with
the figure. All are UL listed as control
components, having successfully passed the
100,000 cycle test under 150% of full rated amp
load. The NEC requires that Duct Heater
Controlling Contactors shall be accessible.
In the definite purpose line the different voltage
coils are easily interchangeable among all the
sizes used.
When controlling contactors are built in without
built-in over-current protection, a power line

terminal block will be provided for each group
of stages (or stage) not exceeding 48 ampere
total, keeping to a minimum the number of field
installed supply circuits required, while allowing
for proper fusing in the field as required by both
UL standards and the NEC. This means that
heaters 48 amp or less will require only one
power supply circuit. However, when specified
that. each stage is to be field wired with a
separate circuit for individual fusing, a terminal
block is provided for each stage for field
connections.
STANDARD USAGE PRACTICE
Our standard practice when contactors are
built in, for controlling and/or backup duty, is
to de-energize the circuit only. That is, to use
contactors that will open only enough power
lines to interrupt the flow of current to that
stage being controlled.
Contactors must be used that will disconnect all
ungrounded conductors of the circuit in some
cases, such as:
(a) local or state requirements,
(b) if the control or thermostat is marked
with "OFF,"
(c) by engineering specification.
If any of these conditions exist, disconnecting
type contactors must be specified when
ordering.
For contactor pricing refer to Pricing Section.

All mercury contactors, must be installed in an
upright position, therefore the direction of air
flow through the duct must be specified when
specifying this type of contactor. See Pricing

B - Description: These UL listed solid state
proportional
controllers
consist
of
a
triac
assembly mounted on a heat sink.
These specially designed SCR's have the triac
assembly mounted inside the terminal box and
the heat sink is attached to the outside of the
terminal box. The heat sinks are in the open air
where there is good convection cooling, keeping
the inside of the terminal box at a normal
temperature.
Inducto
heaters
with
built-in
SCR's can be used with the air entering on either
side.
A special UL listed solid state thermostat must
be furnished when ordering any combination of
SCR's. Power output is controlled from 0 to
100% and is infinitely variable in direct
proportion to thermostat output. All elements
in the heater are controlled simultaneously
avoiding problems of air stratification.
See Pricing Section.

5 - Fan Interlock Options: Effective January 30,
1974, all Inducto heaters must be furnished
with a type of fan interlock. The Inducto
standard will be a differential pressure switch.
A - Differential Pressure Switch. (Standard): The
differential pressure switch is available built-in
to the terminal box compartment UL approved.
This has become a very popular method. This is
an excellent application when constant fan is
used.
B - Electrical Interlock: A one pole contactor
interlock will be built in, wired to energize the
fan circuit when the first stage of the heater is
energized. (See wiring diagrams number E2-A, B
& C). For pricing refer to Pricing Section.

7 - Disconnect Switches: The National Electric
Code states that there must be a disconnecting means
at or within site of the controlling means.
Disconnect switches can be field supplied or can be
built into the heater integral control panel or remote
control box.
We offer two types of disconnect switches. Door interlock type (fig. 11) or toggle type without door interlock
(fig. 11 a). Both devices meet the requirements of the
N.E.C. Door interlock switches are snap-action type
with the operating handle mounted in the hinged
cover and interlocked to open only when in the off
position. Toggle type switches are mounted on the
side of the control panel and kills all power in the
heater when in the off position.

double throw rated at 15 amps up to 480 v
non-inductive; 1/8 HP at 125 volts, 1/4 HP at
240 volts inductive. Alternate switch is available
for line volts over 480. Switch is rated at 10
amps up to 600 volts non-inductive and 6 amps
at. 115 volts; 3 amps at 230 volts; 1.5 amps at
480 volts and 1.2 amps at 575 volts inductive.
Both UL and NEC require that the contactors be
the disconnecting type when this type of switch
is used. This switch does not serve as the
disconnect switch as required by the NEC.
See Pricing Section.
FIGURE 12 - Typical Pressure Type Micro Switch
9 - UL and NEC Safety Requirements: (a)
Primary over-temperature protection (cutouts)
Standard Disc Type: As standard practice all
Inducto Duct Heaters incorporate, as part of the
basic heater, one or more disc type, automatic
resetting temperature limiting devices (Fig.
13).
When a higher than normal temperature
condition occurs within the heating area and the
bi-metal disc reaches 170°F. the cutout opens
de-energizing the heater. After cooling, the
heater is automatically energized to continue
service.
The limit control is a UL listed temperature
limiting component having passed the 100,000
cycles of operation test under 150% of full rated
load.
It may be wired in the power circuit of single
phase heaters not exceeding its rated capacity
and in the control circuit, for pilot duty, on
larger single phase and all three phase heaters.
The resistive rating is 25 amperes and the pilot
duty rating is 125VA at 120, 240 or 277 Volts
AC.

(1) This type of secondary over-temperature protective
device has to be replaced to reactivate the heater
following correction of the problems discussed above.
Two types are available.
They may be wired in line (load carrying) up to their
rated capacity of 48 amps, using enough cutouts to
de-energize the heater. They may also be wired for
pilot duty using one for the entire heater to control
backup contactors which are independent of the
primary controlling contactors. (See backup contactors below.)
FIGURE 13 -Disc Type
FIGURE 14 - Capillary Type
Capillary Type Cutouts (Special): On heaters for
ducts exceeding 10 feet in width a capillary type
automatic resetting limit control is required. In
addition, if the duct is also over 40 inches in
height two are required. This device has a
capillary temperature sensing element which is
mounted along the heating element enclosure
giving protection across the entire width of the
duct. It will be used on smaller duct heaters only
when specified. The application and rating is
identical to the disc type described above. This
cutout is a "fail safe" type control.
For pricing of the capillary type limit control
see Pricing.
Secondary Temperature Limit Controls - Disc
Type (Replaceable) Wired in a power circuit on
single or three phase heaters to de-energize the heater
stage on over-heating. Rated at 48 AMP up to 600
volt. Temperature to open 210 degrees F.
(b) Secondary over-temperature protection
(backup system)
The edition of the NEC states in section 424-64
(second paragraph):
"In addition" (to the automatic primary limit
controls)
"an
integral,
independent,
supplementary control, or controllers, shall be
provided in each duct heater which will
disconnect a sufficient number of conductors to
interrupt current flow. This device shall be
manually resettable or replaceable."
The secondary protection (backup system) is
always set at a higher temperature (210°F) than
the automatic primary limit controls, therefore
it should only operate when both an
over-temperature condition occurs and the
primary system fails due to frozen contacts, etc.
Inducto Duct Heaters are available with the
following two systems, UL listed, to meet the
above requirements.
(2) Back up contactors with pilot duty manual reset.
Reset is wired in series with backup contactor to deenergize heater.
SPECIFICATIONS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE
25
ELECTRICAL DESIGN - Page 25
When backup and controlling contactors are
built-in, the stages may be grouped to a
maximum of 48 amps per circuit, before being
wired through the backup contactors. When the
stages are small enough to allow grouping into a
circuit of 48 amp maximum, fewer backup
contactors are required to de-energize the
heater.
EXAMPLE: A three phase heater with three
stages of 16 amp each will be grouped into one
circuit of 48 amps on the line side of the
controlling contactors and will require only two
contacts (50 amp size) on the backup contactor
to de-energize this heater.
The above procedure (grouping) will not apply
when it is specified that each stage is to be field
wired to a separate supply circuit.
For maximum KW per circuit (48 amp) see
Table 6.
NOTE: The maximum voltage allowed on the
manual resettable cutouts is 480 volt on the disc
type and 277 volt for the capillary type;
therefore on heaters using higher line voltages, a
separate voltage source for the backup control
circuit must be supplied. This may be either
from a built-in transformer or from a remote
supply and must be specified. Both UL and the
NEC require only de-energizing type contactors
for backup service.
For pricing of backup contactors refer to
de-energizing type contactor. Refer to Pricing.
Disc Type: This device uses a bimetal disc to
sense over-temperature conditions and is
mounted through the terminal compartment. It
is recommended for use on heaters to be
installed in ducts up to 10 feet in width.
HF series heaters are designed for manual
resettable disc-type cut-out (load carrying)
application. Available are one-pole and two-pole
manual 48 amp maximum rated to 600 volts
AC. The two-pole manual resettable will
accommodate 96 amp on single phase
application and 48 amp on three phase
application. For selection of manual resettable
disc-type cutouts, refer to pricing.
FIGURE 17 - Capillary Type Manual Resettable Cutout -
Capillary Type: This device is the ultimate in
over-temperature
protection
and
is
recommended to be used on all heaters over six
feet in "W" dimension. It is required on all
heaters
over 10
feet
"W"
dimension.
The
temperature sensing capillary is mounted along
the top inside of the element enclosure and
down stream from the elements; therefore, the
air
flow
direction
must
be
specified
when
ordering this unit. Normally only one of this
type cutout is used per heater. If the heater load
exceeds its rated capacity then the cutout
should be used for pilot duty in conjunction
with backup contactors.
Refer to Pricing.
Backup Contactors: When a capillary Manual
Resettable cut-out, described above, is to be used as
the secondary protection, and is not wired in the line
to directly de-energize the heater, then one must be
used, wired for pilot duty, controlling backup contactors. Backup contactors are in addition to, and independent of, the primary controlling contactor or
other device, and are controlled by the manual resettable cutout only. They are wired in the line to deenergize the heater when an over-temperature condition causes the manual resettable cutout to cycle off.
They may be either built-in or remote.
NOTE: Backup contactors must be wired so they will
not cycle off and on by the thermostat.

transformer may be built-in to supply the
correct voltage thereby eliminating the task of
running a separate supply to the heater for the
control circuit.
The transformers are UL listed and are available
with primary and secondary voltages and sizes as
listed (Refer to Pricing). The VA rating required
for a given quantity of definite purpose type
contactors is also listed along with prices.
If controlling contactors are not built-in, both
the primary and secondary of the transformer
are wired to a terminal block for field
connection as required on the job. Unless
specified otherwise the primary voltage will be
the same as the heater power supply.
Either or both the secondary and primary can be
fused when specified.
If a manual resettable cutout and backup
contactors are being used and the heater line
voltage exceeds the voltage rating of the cutout
then the control transformers should be sized to,
carry both the controlling and backup
contactors or a separate supply furnished for the
backup control circuit.
Refer to Pricing.
11 - Time Delay Relays
When a positive time delay is needed between
the "on" cycle of consecutive stages to prevent
them from coming on simultaneously a time
delay relay is available built-in and factory
wired.
For control voltages of 24, 120, 208, 240 and
277 the 600 type is used, wired as shown in
diagram E5-B.
The 600 type gives approximately a 25 second
delay in the "on" cycle, but is wired to turn the
heat off immediately when thermostat is
satisfied, however a few seconds are required for
the delay relay to recycle off in order to repeat
the on delay sequence.
Refer to Pricing.
FIGURE 20 - Application of indicator light ana pilot switch.
13 - Pilot Switch: A single pole toggle switch is
available, which can be factory wired to prevent
operation of a heater stage or the entire heater
(see diagram number E8 A & B). The pilot
switch can be used in control circuits of 24, 120,
208/240 or 277 volts.
Note: Both UL and NEC require that
disconnecting type contactors be used when a
pilot switch is used. This pilot switch does not
serve as the disconnect switch as required by the
NEC.

14 - Pilot Relay: In some cases when using a 24
volt control system the VA load of several heavy
duty contactors may exceed the capacity of the
thermostat or the low voltage transformer. In
such cases a pilot relay can be built in,
controlled by the 24 volt circuit to switch line
voltage (250 volt maximum) which operates the
heavy duty contactors.
Refer to Pricing Section.
15 - Pneumatic-Electric (P.E.) Switches: When a
pneumatic-control system is used, P.E. switches
are required to control the heater directly (load

or to
operate the controlling
contactors of the duct heater (pilot duty). The
P.E. switches, may be built in and factory wired.

stock. This application is UL approved and
carries the standard one year warranty. Refer to
Pricing Section.
16 -Step Controllers - Built in or remote.
A - Electric Step Controllers: This built-in
modulating electric step controller was developed
especially for use in duct heaters and has a 150ºF
ambient temperature rating. Standard time cycle for
10 switches to come on is 13 minutes. Built-in
recycle relay prevents entire load from coming on
at once after power failures. Switches are rated for
pilot duty only (up to 240V) and must be used to
control contactors. Specify holding coil voltage of
120V, 208V or 240V. For 480V line voltage
applications, specify a 480V/120V transformer.
Built-in transformer provides 24V for thermostat
circuit only not for contactor holding coils. Minimum
terminal box height is 12". Use T921A or T991A

Electronic Step Controller 100% Solid State
Operation — Operation typical of temperature
regulation is as follows:
Heating: As the temperature drops below the setpoint, the first stage heating circuit is energized. If the
temperature continues to drop, the second, and subsequent, heating circuit(s) will be engaged. When the
temperature rises above the "pull-in point" for a stage,
that stage drops out. Time delay between stages
assures sequencing of stages, in order, regardless of
demand requirements. Sequencer re-programs to start
(deadband) on power failure.

C - Pneumatic Step Controller: These step
controllers are used for sequence control of
electric duct heaters and other devices.
The basic unit consists of a series of switches,
cam operated by a common drive shaft, driven
by a pneumatic actuator, all mounted on a
common base. The switches are enclosed with a
metal cover. An external pointer indicates the
shaft position thru 180° from full "on" to full
"off".
Switches are factory set for normal operation
and cams can easily be field adjusted. Switch
differential is fixed with 5 angular degrees
minimum. The switch rating is 20 amperes at
120, 250 and 480 volts AC, 1 HP at 125V and 2
HP at 250V.
The power required for the SP-300 series or
equivalent is 0-15 PSI air supply. Typical
pneumatic thermostats are available to operate
this controller.
For pricing see Pricing Section. Check the

E - REMOTE CONTROL PANELS
In some applications the required components
cannot be built in the duct heater terminal box
because of space limitations, inaccessibility, etc.
In this case some, or all, of the components can
be mounted and factory wired internally, as
applicable, in a panel for remote mounting. All
terminals are marked to clearly indicate the field
connections between the panel and the heater.
The panel is of the same construction as the
heater terminal box and the same components
will be used as previously described in this
catalogue for use in the Raywall duct heater.
The required controls are controlling contactors,
overcurrent protection, back up contactors (if
used as the required backup system), and all
must be supplied by the heater mfg. as required
by UL and NCC.
Heater and
panel will be completely
coordinated,
ie:
circuit
sizing,
terminal
markings, etc., and a wiring diagram provided
showing inter connections between components.
The panel will be UL listed with the same
controls and combinations as the heater with
integral controls.
Components that may be installed in remote
panels are as follows:
Controlling contactors
Backup contactors
Transformers
SCR units
Fusing or circuit breakers
P.E. switches
Disconnect switches
Pilot lights
Pilot switches
Step controllers, program switches
