Industrial ASPI-19496 MR Industrial Heating Element

ASPI-19496 MR is a 3 kW, 480 V, three-phase industrial heating element from ASB Heating Elements, engineered for robust process heating in harsh, moisture-prone environments. It belongs to ASB's MR (Moisture Resistant) series, a Type 4/NEMA 4 enclosure option designed to withstand washdowns and humid production areas. Built with ASB’s precision-wound 80-20 nickel-chrome heating wire inside a durable sheath, this tubular heater delivers even heat distribution along its length for reliable immersion heating. At 480 V in a three-phase configuration, it provides 3 kW of heat output, corresponding to about 3.6 A per phase under standard 480 V service, enabling efficient energy delivery without excessive circuit loading. The ASPI-19496 MR is designed to be integrated with standard process equipment and can be specified with mounting fittings and thermostatic controls as required by the installation. Common applications include industrial tank heating and processing vessels in environments where moisture resistance is important, such as food processing, chemical handling, and other wet or washdown settings. ASB emphasizes durability and consistent heat transfer in tubular elements, with MR-enclosed versions offering protection for electrical connections in challenging manufacturing environments.
