MoSi2 heating elements: select your load connection
Choosing the right connection for MoSi2 heating elements is crucial to maximising system efficiency and lifetime. CD Automation provides expert advice and customised solutions to ensure that each configuration is perfectly matched to the specific needs of your system.
Advanced management of heating elements with thermal variability: solutions for constant resistance and current limitation
This type of heaters increase resistivity sharply with temperature but has no age-related changes. The graph show that at ambient temperature the resistance value is very low and increase its value up to 10 times.
The initial current at cold elements can be 16 times the rated current.
For this type of application, it is necessary to use units that allow a Phase Angle firing with Soft Start (3 sec.) and Current Limit.
When the resistance value reaches a set value, two types of working methods are possible, which can be selected from the HMI:
– Phase Angle plus Current Limit all the time or
– Phase Angle plus Current Limit when the resistor is cold and transfers to Delay Triggering if load is coupled with transformer
An example of MoSi2 heating elements are Kanthal Super (TM)* elements
