ELEMENT BLOCK ASSEMBLY - 208V

A heating element converts electrical energy into heat through the process of Joule heating. Electric current through the element encounters resistance, resulting in heating of the element. This process is independent of the direction of current.

Parts of a lock assembly include a cylinder or lock body, where a key is inserted. When locked, the cylinder engages a series of spring-loaded pins that keep the cylinder from turning. When a key is inserted, the uneven edge pushes the pins upward to fit the key’s height in that location within the lock body. Essentially, it recognizes the correct key when the pins move into their proper places. This “opens” the cylinder, allowing the bolt to move, and you to open the lock. The lock engages a piece of metal or plastic that extends from the door into the receiver and holds it closed. In addition, a lock assembly may include mounting components, brackets, washers and bolts.
