They have to deal with a nasty mix of damp air and blistering heat. But here is the secret: the heating element itself rarely gives out. The real nightmare happens at the lead-wire junction.</p> <h2 id="the-slow-death-of-a-lead-wire">The slow death of a lead-wire</h2> <p>Think about where the quartz tube meets the electrical lead. That&rsquo;s the danger zone. Most people use standard potting compounds, but those just can&rsquo;t keep up with constant heating and cooling. The material expands, it shrinks, and eventually, it develops these tiny micro-cracks. That&rsquo;s when the moisture creeps in. Once water hits a high-voltage line while it&rsquo;s scorching hot, <a href="https://goldisgood.com">things</a> go south quickly. You get carbonization, a nasty arc-flash, or just a dead short. Not exactly what you want when you&rsquo;re trying to keep people warm.</p>
