Hazardous leakage current preventing for refractory-encased heater elements

摘要

Low-level "trickle" electric heater means in diverse forms prevents hygroscopic moisture accumulation adjacent relatively open or exposed ends of refractory-encased conventional electrical heating elements, thereby to prevent excessive leakage current through refractory otherwise potentially conductive with moisture buildup which may present a hazard at such time as the element is initially turned on.
