FAQs

In any type of heater, if the voltage tolerance is on the lower side with respect to the voltage within which the heater was actually designed then there is no problem.

But, for higher voltage tolerances it depends on the watt density on the basis of which the heater is designed.

If the heater is designed with maximum permissible watt density, then no voltage fluctuation tolerance is possible and on the other hand, if the watt density is lesser than the maximum permissible watt density, then 5-10% higher side voltage is fine.

Life of heater: Our heaters are made from finest quality raw material to obtain maximum life up to many years but still life of heater also depend on application and operating parameters. So we can’t predict life of heater.

Heaters fails due to scaling on heater which generates due to use of heater in hard water. Scaling (deposited sediments on heater) forms a layer on heater tube which acts as an insulation which in turn melts the heater outer sheath due to improper heat transfer. 

We can operate heater at any rated voltage, the difference would be only with the wattage as power is directly proportional to voltage as the voltage increases power will also increase. If power will increase watt density of heater also increase but watt density should not cross of a heater maximum limits.
