Hi. Question about PTC heater.
I have a small desktop heater that I want to use in an enclosure that needs heating.
The heater is 220V and advertised as 400W.
The heater is heating up the enclosure too fast and I want to reduce the energy produced.
Terminals A and C are Live.
Terminal B is Neutral.
( the pcb at the end is only for converting to 12VDC to run the fan behind the PTC heater )
Can I disconnect terminals A or C to have only half the heater working ?
I am a little confused with the 5 rows in the heater - would it be 2 separate elements ( 1x3 rows & 1x2 rows ) or would one row be shared ?
My multimeter over terminals A & B reads 0.83 ohm. Same for terminals B & C.
