Description
The Civaux CHR100 enclosure heater is designed to protect electrical and electronic components from condensation inside control cabinets, switchgear, and industrial enclosures. Its positive temperature coefficient (PTC) heating element limits its heating behaviour as temperature rises, helping provide self-regulating heat.
Condensation can contribute to corrosion, insulation problems, and electrical faults. By maintaining a suitable enclosure temperature, the CHR100 helps reduce moisture-related risks in installations exposed to temperature changes and humid conditions.
