Extreme Temperature Protection
Outdoor and indoor machinery and process
equipment at metal processing, coal and cement
plants must stand up to extreme temperatures,
UV radiation, humidity and corrosive substances.
Electrical systems must perform in these harsh
conditions and be protected against condensation,
water and sludge. Whether you’re operating a
conveyor belt in snowy longitudes or in tropical
zones, a high-temperature slurry pump or a furnace
application, Thomas & Betts electrical solutions
address issues that can result from extreme
temperatures, including:
• Repeated thermal expansion and contraction damaging
conduit systems and electrical connections
• Components softening and failing due to high
temperatures
• Components melting and destroying other nearby
equipment
• Components near flames catching fire and burning
• Components becoming brittle and failing at low
temperatures
• Condensation occurring due to rapid temperature
changes, stressing electrical systems
