LG-10(C) thru LG-30(C) (Portable) - User Manual Electro-Steam Generator Corp. 4.) CALCULATIONS AND DATA SHEETS 4.1) HEATER POWER & VOLTAGE RATINGS LG Model units use 3 Heaters to meet the required (KW) POWER from the customer’s specified INPUT VOLTAGE. Each heater comes in 5 different (KW) POWER RATINGS and 4 different VOLTAGE RATINGS. -
Page 20: Amperage Calculations
LG-10(C) thru LG-30(C) (Portable) - User Manual Electro-Steam Generator Corp. 4.3) AMPERAGE CALCULATIONS The INPUT VOLTAGE, PHASE, TOTAL POWER RATING, and HEATER VOLTAGE RATING are used to calculate the amperage. NOTE: 380-425V heaters are not usually rated for 380-425V. They are usually 208-240V heaters that have been re-stamped 380-425V and wired in series. -
Page 21: Actual Power Rating Calculations
LG-10(C) thru LG-30(C) (Portable) - User Manual Electro-Steam Generator Corp. 4.4) ACTUAL POWER RATING CALCULATIONS Because the HEATER VOLTAGE RATINGS only come in 4 different voltages, and there are so many different voltages in the field, the TOTAL POWER RATING is only completely accurate if the VOLTAGE IN is exactly equal to the HEATER VOLTAGE RATING. -
