The electrical connections must include some provision fo
grounding the salamander. T he grounding means may be
through the e lectrical circuit or to a suit able earth ground.
Connect the ground to th e pressure connector located near the
contactor. S alamander units are factor y pre-wired for 3-phase
delta or 1-phase (15kW 240V only) operation. Follow local wiring
codes and/or the National Electric Code for the connection of the
salamander to a suitable electric circuit.
lways use the proper size SO cable for the electrical hook-up of this salamander. The proper cable size is shown in the table below.
Fostoria offers the cable kits as indicated by unit rating.
INSTALLATION
