Technical Specifications

Information About VC408A0GT

The VC408A0GT is a Watlow ceramic fiber heater intended for high-temperature industrial thermal processing applications. Its construction combines an electrical resistance heating system with lightweight ceramic fiber insulation, reducing the amount of heat absorbed by the heater body during temperature changes. The heater has a cylindrical configuration with an 8-inch internal opening and a 12-inch external diameter, allowing installation around compatible equipment with sufficient dimensional clearance. Its 120 VAC electrical rating and 2600 W heating capacity require a properly rated power circuit and temperature control system for safe operation.

Key Features:

• Ceramic Fiber Construction: Lightweight refractory insulation helps reduce heat storage and thermal losses.

• Rated Heating Power: Provides 2600 W of electrical heating capacity.

• Operating Voltage: Designed for a nominal 120 VAC electrical supply.

• Inside Diameter: 8-inch internal opening for compatible cylindrical equipment.

• Outside Diameter: 12-inch external diameter for installation planning.

• Cylindrical Configuration: Designed for heating applications involving round process components.

• Resistance Heating: Converts electrical energy into heat through an integrated heating element.

• Thermal Response: Low-mass ceramic fiber construction supports temperature changes with reduced stored heat.

• External Temperature Control: Can be operated using a compatible temperature controller and appropriately rated switching device.

• Industrial Applications: Suitable for compatible high-temperature process heating and thermal equipment.

• Replacement Identification: VC408A0GT and the associated 0001R marking help identify the heater configuration.

The VC408A0GT delivers the reliability and precision required for industrial cylindrical heating, thermal process temperature control, and high-temperature equipment operation.
