Panel Heaters

Why do I need a panel heater?
Whenever the ambient temperature around the control panel exceeds the temperature inside the control panel, condensation may occur inside the control panel. Humidity may be deposited as condensation water on the devices and terminals in the control panel, leading to malfunction and short circuits.

A simple solution is heating the inside of the control panel. This ensures that the temperature inside the control panel is always a little bit higher than the outside temperature, thus avoiding condensation.To ensure that this does not happen to your control panel or subsidiary distribution box in the winter, we recommend using panel heaters to protect your equipment from frost damages and to ensure the trouble-free functioning of your systems.

ABB’s panel heaters are characterized by their flat structural form that enables positive fastening at the control panel wall without disturbing other devices. A mounting clip also enables DIN rail mounting.Each panel heater includes overheating protection.

Fields of Application
  • Anti-condensation Avoidance of water condensation inside the control panel (eg. in carpark ticket machines)
  • Anti-frost Avoidance of undercooling of systems and control panels inside of free-standing distributors or mobile equipment.
