Neutral Point of Heater Bank

FornhamSpark
Hi,

I have an application to control a bank of resistive heating elements (52Kw) in a Star configuration from a Eurotherm Power Management unit to control heat output.

Is it standard practice to connect the Neutral Point to Neutral ?

    I would say that the star point of the heater bank should be connected to the supply neutral, UNLESS the instructions specifically state otherwise.

    The neutral should also in my view be full sized, since a control fault or the loss of two phases of the supply cold result in the neutral being fully loaded.
