Dr_David_Gordon Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 I have a metal enclosure and placing the CTB08 inside will cause metal to metal contact between the enclosure and the heat sinks.Is there a problem if the metal enclosure and heat sinks are both grounded together, or do I need to insulate the heatsinks away from the enclosure that will be grounded?
Rafter Bar R Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 LOR uses isolated triacs, there is no problem with bolting the heatsinks to the metal box. As a safety precaution make sure that the safety ground (green wire, or third prong) is connected to the metal box.
