Dual Contactors for Hydrocarbon Heater Circuits

Dual Contactors for Hydrocarbon Heater Circuits

Dual Contactors for Hydrocarbon Heater Circuits

(OP)
I was reading a project spec and came across a requirement for dual contactors for hydrocarbon heater circuits.  Can anyone tell me why this is required and whether it is covered in any standards, ie ANSI, IEE, BS?

RE: Dual Contactors for Hydrocarbon Heater Circuits

Suggestion: It appears that in some instances the dual contactors are obsoleted and replaced by contactors with arc suppressors.
