Tutco EC-08BKB Electric Heater 8 Kw 240V Single Phase

Product Description

The TUTCO EC-08BKB is an 8.0 kilowatt electric heat assembly built for 240-volt single-phase 60 Hz operation. It ships with a factory-installed internal circuit breaker that provides branch circuit protection without requiring a separate disconnect. The assembly uses open-coil resistive heating elements and includes automatic high-temperature limit controls to protect against overtemperature conditions. Factory wiring terminations simplify field connection. Licensed HVAC technicians install this unit as a direct electric heat source in compatible air handler or furnace applications.

This heater assembly is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC installations where an 8 kW electric heat kit with an integral breaker is required. It is designed for use in compatible electric heat applications operating on 240-volt single-phase power. The factory-installed breaker satisfies branch circuit protection requirements, reducing the number of separate components needed during installation.

Key Features

• 8.0 kW heating capacity at 240 volts single phase
• Factory-installed internal circuit breaker for branch circuit protection
• Open-coil resistive heating elements for efficient heat transfer
• Automatic high-temperature limit controls to prevent overtemperature conditions
• Factory wiring terminations for simplified field connection
• Designed for 60 Hz single-phase power systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install electric heat assembly for compatible HVAC systems requiring an 8 kW single-phase heater kit with an integral circuit breaker.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician in accordance with local codes and the NEC. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power to the air handling system before beginning any work on the heater assembly. Verify that the supply voltage and phase match the unit ratings before energizing. Do not bypass or defeat the factory-installed high-temperature limit controls.
