Heater elements like the FH56 translate motor current into heat, which in turn trips the overload relay when current exceeds the rated threshold, protecting the motor from damage caused by sustained overloads or phase loss. This element is selected based on the full-load amperage of the motor being protected and must match the relay model to ensure accurate trip response. Installation is performed by licensed electricians and qualified motor control technicians during motor starter assembly or field service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe FH56 heater element is used in industrial and commercial motor control applications where EATON Type A or Type B overload relays are specified. Typical installations include motor control centers, combination starters, and panel-mounted motor starters across a range of commercial HVAC, pump, compressor, and conveyor applications. Selection of the correct heater element is critical to proper overload protection and must be verified against the motor nameplate full-load amp rating and the overload relay selection chart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with EATON Type A and Type B thermal overload relays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides motor overload and phase-loss protection via thermal trip mechanism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact form factor for installation in standard motor starter assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMust be matched to motor full-load amperage per EATON selection tables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight construction at 0.030 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with EATON Type A and Type B thermal overload relays as a replacement or spare heater element. Consult the EATON heater element selection guide to confirm correct sizing for the target motor full-load amperage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified motor control technician in accordance with NEC Article 430. Disconnect and lock out all power to the motor control circuit before removing or installing heater elements. Verify the heater element selection against the motor nameplate full-load amps and the relay manufacturer selection chart before energizing. Do not substitute heater elements of a different type or rating, as incorrect selection will compromise overload protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Type A and Type B Thermal Overload Heater Element\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.1 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.030 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 78667867054\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: EATON\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: FH56\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EATON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51384023646514,"sku":"FH56","price":103.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/312675632.jpg?v=1782615171","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/eaton-fh56-type-a-b-overload-relay-heater-element","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
