I recently purchased a several hundred gallon tank for heating water for a brewing application. There is a Watlow immersion heating element that extends into the tank and the power box has the following on it:
AC Rating
120-277 V: 30 A
480V: 21 A
My assumption is that the 480V is three phase power. However given the range of 120-277V I was curious if this could also be operated off of single phase power with a higher amperage.
Any help you can provide on what kind of power could be used on this would be helpful!!! Also any benefit to one versus the other? Faster heating times or something similar?
Thanks!
