Eaton FH08 Type a B Overload Heater Element

Product Description

The EATON FH08 is a thermal overload heater element designed for use with Type A and Type B overload relays in motor control applications. Heater elements like the FH08 protect motors from sustained overcurrent conditions by generating heat proportional to the load current passing through the circuit. When current exceeds the rated threshold, the heater trips the overload relay, disconnecting the motor from the supply. This part is installed by licensed electricians and industrial control technicians during motor starter assembly, panel wiring, or overload relay replacement.

The FH08 heater element is suited for commercial and industrial motor control circuits where Type A or Type B EATON overload relays are installed. Typical applications include motor control centers, combination starters, and standalone motor starters in light commercial and industrial environments. The compact form factor makes it a straightforward field replacement when a heater element burns out or when a motor load is re-rated and a different heater ampere rating is required.

Key Features

• Compatible with Type A and Type B EATON overload relays
• Provides thermal overload protection proportional to motor load current
• Compact dimensions allow installation in tight motor starter enclosures
• Lightweight construction at 0.030 pounds simplifies handling during panel work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement heater element for EATON Type A and Type B overload relays in motor control applications.

Installation Notes

Installation of overload heater elements should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with NEC requirements. De-energize and lock out the motor control panel before removing or installing any heater element. Confirm the replacement heater ampere rating matches the full-load ampere rating of the connected motor per the overload relay selection chart. Do not operate an overload relay without a properly rated heater element installed.
