Appleton C3RC Nema 3R Thermostat 22 Amp

Product Description

The APPLETON C3RC is a NEMA 3R rated thermostat designed for use in applications requiring a weatherproof enclosure and reliable temperature control switching. Rated at 22 amps, it provides sufficient load capacity for electric heating equipment commonly found in industrial and commercial settings. The NEMA 3R rating means the enclosure resists rain, sleet, and external ice formation, making it suitable for outdoor or semi-exposed installations. Licensed electricians and HVAC technicians are the primary installers of this type of thermostat.

The C3RC is well suited for outdoor or covered electrical heating control applications in commercial and light industrial environments. It is typically installed on unit heaters, electric baseboard systems, or similar resistance heating loads where an outdoor-rated control enclosure is required. Its 22-amp switching capacity covers a wide range of standard electric heating loads without the need for an additional relay or contactor in many installations.

Key Features

• NEMA 3R rated enclosure provides protection against rain, sleet, and external ice formation
• 22-amp switching capacity supports direct control of electric heating loads
• Designed for outdoor and semi-exposed installation environments
• Compact thermostat format for straightforward field installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install thermostat for electric heating systems requiring a NEMA 3R weatherproof control enclosure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. Disconnect and lock out power to the circuit before wiring or servicing the thermostat. Verify that the connected load does not exceed the 22-amp rating of the device. Mount the enclosure in a location that maintains the NEMA 3R integrity of the installation and does not expose the unit to direct submersion or excessive moisture intrusion at conduit entries.
