Eaton FH32 Type a B Overload Relay Heater Element

Product Description

The EATON FH32 is a thermal overload relay heater element designed for use with Type A and Type B overload relays in motor control applications. This heater element converts excess current into heat to trip the overload relay and protect the motor from damage caused by sustained overcurrent conditions. It is a direct-replacement component installed by licensed electricians and industrial maintenance technicians during motor starter servicing or motor protection upgrades. The FH32 is compact, measuring 2.1 inches by 1.3 inches by 0.8 inches and weighing just 0.03 pounds, making it easy to handle and install in tight motor control center enclosures.

This heater element is suited for commercial and industrial electrical installations where motor overload protection is required. It is typically found in motor control centers, combination motor starters, and disconnect assemblies. The FH32 fits into the heater pocket of compatible EATON overload relays and is sized to match a specific full-load current range. Electricians select the correct heater element based on the motor nameplate full-load amperage and the ambient temperature correction factor for the installation environment.
