SOLAIRA
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about SOLAIRA from 3G Electric.
What voltage options are available for SOLAIRA electric infrared heaters?
SOLAIRA electric infrared heaters are available in several voltage configurations, including 208/240V AC and 277V AC, single phase. For example, the 1125W/1500W model (SCOSY15240L1W) operates on 208/240V AC, while the 6000W model (SALPHA2-40277G) operates on 277V AC. The appropriate voltage depends on the electrical supply available at the installation site. All heaters are hardwired and require a compatible control. Buyers should confirm the voltage and phase of their power supply before selecting a heater. 3G Electric can provide specifications for each model to assist with selection.
What is the maximum wattage output of SOLAIRA digital variable heat controls?
SOLAIRA digital variable heat controls are available with maximum outputs of 3,840W and 8,160W. The 3,840W model (SMART16-DV) and the 8,160W model both operate on single-phase 120/208/240V AC and feature a digital touch pad for temperature adjustment. These controls are designed for use with all electric radiant heaters. The wattage rating must not be exceeded; the connected heater load should be within the control's capacity. For higher wattage heaters, the 8,160W control is appropriate. 3G Electric stocks these controls and can advise on compatibility with specific heaters.
Can SOLAIRA timer controls be used with any electric radiant heater?
SOLAIRA timer controls are specified for use with all electric radiant heaters. They are surface-mount, single-phase devices available in 4,000W (16.6A) and 6,000W (25A) ratings at 208/240V AC. These controls allow scheduling of on/off cycles, which can help manage energy use. The timer control must be matched to the heater's voltage and current draw. For example, a 6,000W heater at 240V draws 25A, so the 6,000W timer control would be suitable. 3G Electric can provide guidance on selecting the correct timer control for a given heater.
What are the housing materials and element types for SOLAIRA suspended infrared heaters?
SOLAIRA suspended infrared radiant heaters use quartz lamp elements and aluminum housings. The housings are available in different colors, such as white, gray, and silver, depending on the model. For instance, the 1125W/1500W model has a white aluminum housing, while the 6000W model has a gray aluminum body. The quartz lamp element provides radiant heat and is replaceable. These heaters are designed for indoor and outdoor use and are hardwired. The aluminum construction offers durability in various environments. 3G Electric supplies these heaters and can provide replacement parts.
What beam patterns are available for SOLAIRA infrared heaters?
SOLAIRA infrared heaters are available with different beam patterns to suit various mounting heights and coverage areas. One model, the 6000W heater (SALPHA2-40277G), has a 45-degree beam pattern. The beam pattern affects the spread of radiant heat and should be selected based on the area to be heated and the mounting location. Other models may have different beam patterns; buyers should check the individual product specifications. 3G Electric can provide details on beam patterns for specific models to help with layout and selection.
How does 3G Electric support the SOLAIRA product line?
3G Electric distributes SOLAIRA electric heaters and controls as part of its industrial equipment catalog. The company stocks a range of SOLAIRA products, including suspended infrared heaters, wall and ceiling heaters, and controls such as digital variable heat controls, timer controls, and rotary knobs. 3G Electric provides logistics support for global shipping, allowing customers outside Singapore to source these products. Technical documentation and product specifications are available to assist with selection and integration. For current availability, pricing, and lead times, buyers should contact 3G Electric directly. The company can also provide quotes and handle orders for multiple items.
