Hello everyone,
This may be a dumb question but is there a benefit of using a 240v heater over 480? Most all the equipment I work on has 480 for the main feed and then a second transformer to step it to 240 for heater bands. There are about 15 heaters per unit. Wondering if there is a reason for that and would it have been more effective to just not pay for the second transformer and do everything in 480?
Thanks
