Ushio 1001351 QIH240-3000/S

USHIO 1001351 QIH240-3000/S – 3000W 240V Quartz Infrared Industrial Heater Lamp | T3 Clear | 2500K | Metal Sleeve Base | 503 mm MOL | 410 mm Lighted Length | 5,000 Hour Life

The USHIO 1001351 QIH240-3000/S is a 3000W, 240V quartz infrared industrial heater lamp in a clear T3 tubular envelope with metal sleeve ends. Overall length is 503 mm with a 410 mm lighted length, color temperature is 2500K, and average rated life is 5,000 hours. It uses a C-6 filament and is rated for the H4 burn position. This is a process heating lamp designed to transfer large amounts of radiant heat with instant-on, instant-off controllability — not a lighting product.

Technical Specifications

Product Overview

USHIO Oregon manufactures quartz infrared heater lamps for clean, instantaneous, precision-controlled process heat. These lamps transfer large amounts of energy while remaining fully controllable, which is the distinction that matters in production environments: a quartz tube reaches output almost immediately and stops almost immediately when switched off. That makes it the right source for heat-sensitive materials that might otherwise linger in a heat zone, and for high-speed lines where dwell time is short and the heat has to be there the moment the part arrives.

This is the 3000W 240V version, one of the higher wattage densities in the range. The lighted length is 410 mm within a 503 mm overall envelope, so roughly 7.3 watts per millimeter of heated length — a concentrated band of radiant energy rather than a diffuse one. Color temperature is 2500K, which for an infrared heater is an indicator of filament operating temperature and therefore of where the emitted energy sits in the infrared spectrum, not a description of visible light appearance.

Construction is a clear T3 quartz tube, 10 mm in diameter, with metal sleeve terminations at each end and no front glass cover. The filament is a C-6 configuration and the lamp is rated for the H4 burn position. Average rated life is 5,000 hours. USHIO notes that quartz lamps of this type are the best choice where precise high wattage density is required for high-speed production while maintaining even, controlled heat zones.

Compatible Applications

• Industrial process heating on production and conveyor lines
• Applications requiring instant-on and instant-off radiant heat control
• Heat-sensitive materials that cannot dwell in a sustained heat source
• High-speed production processes needing precise, high wattage density
• Controlled, even heat zones across a defined 410 mm band
• Drying, curing, laminating, thermoforming, and preheating operations
• OEM heater assemblies and replacement in existing QIH240-3000/S fixtures
• Equipment operating on a 240 V supply

Before Ordering – Verify

• Confirm the voltage is 240 V. USHIO builds the QIH range across 104 V, 115 V, 120 V, 144 V, 208 V, 220 V, 230 V, 240 V, 277 V, 384 V, 400 V, 420 V, 480 V, 570 V, 575 V, and 600 V. Operating a heater lamp on the wrong voltage will destroy it or badly under-perform.
• Confirm both the overall length and the lighted length. This lamp is 503 mm MOL with a 410 mm lighted length. Fixtures are built around both dimensions, and a lamp that fits mechanically can still put the heat in the wrong place.
• Confirm the end termination type. This is the /S version with a metal sleeve base. USHIO uses different suffixes for different terminations across the range, and they are not interchangeable in a given holder.
• Confirm the burn position. This lamp is rated H4.
• Confirm the 10 mm tube diameter clears the reflector or holder.
• Confirm no front glass cover is expected; this lamp is supplied without one.
• Confirm the fixture and controls are rated for a 3000 W load at 240 V.
• Case quantity is 20.

Safety and Handling Guidelines

• A 3000W quartz infrared lamp produces intense radiant heat and presents serious burn and fire risk. Install only in equipment designed and rated for this lamp.
• Disconnect power and allow the lamp and fixture to cool fully before handling or replacing.
• Do not touch the quartz tube with bare hands. Skin oils cause devitrification and early failure. Handle with clean gloves or a cloth, and clean any contact marks with alcohol before operating.
• Support the lamp along its length during handling; quartz tubes are long, thin, and fragile.
• Keep combustible materials clear of the heated zone and do not obstruct the lamp.
• Observe the H4 burn position; operating outside the rated orientation shortens life.
• Ensure lead terminations are secure and rated for the operating temperature at the seal.
• Do not exceed the rated voltage; over-voltage operation dramatically shortens lamp life.
• Provide appropriate guarding and eye protection where operators work near an energized lamp.
• Installation should follow all applicable national and local electrical codes.
