Has anybody use these? And if so was it direct wash contact or indirect contact? Says SS t3 temp. Just curious I've got about 10 of these. I bought the lot cause I needed one for a big parts cleaner.

Looks like a 3phase heater.
Is it rated at 7kw when running on 480v 3 phase :?:

it is a 3 phase 230v. but it's 3 separate isolated elements that can be configured parallel or series or not hooked up at all.

No I haven't, but if I had 10 of them, I'd figure out how to use several of them
And keep the rest for spares :lol:

So basically each one of the heaters has three 2333 watt elements @ 230v
Figure that makes for a lot of power combinations, even without a controller

I go to a lot of industrial auctions so when I come across stuff that might come in handy I pick them up. SSR's temp controllers timers etc etc. If I scrap something out I save the controls. People call me a pack rat.., I say I am planning for years into the future.
