Electrical connection to an assembly

Abstract

An assembly, a reactor system, and a method are provided for catalyzing an endothermic reaction of a feed gas to a product gas. The assembly comprises a catalytic zone including a catalyst and an electrically conductive material for resistance heating of the catalyst. The electrically conductive material is arranged to form at least one electrically conductive pathway between conductors to connect the conductive material to at least one electrical power supply. The assembly also comprises control circuits configured to monitor an electrical characteristic associated with an electrical connectivity parameter between at least one of the conductors and an electrical ground, and to adjust an electrical supply parameter of the power supply such that the electrical characteristic meets a predefined threshold.
