Tutco EC-10BKN Electric Heater 10kw 240V Single Phase

Product Description

The TUTCO EC-10BKN is a 10 kilowatt electric heat assembly built for 240 volt, single phase, 60 Hz operation in forced-air HVAC systems. It uses open-coil resistive heating elements and incorporates automatic high-temperature limit controls to guard against overtemperature conditions. The assembly ships with factory wiring terminations, reducing field wiring time. This is a non-fused configuration, meaning it does not include internal overcurrent protection — the installing system or panel must supply appropriate circuit protection. Licensed HVAC technicians and electricians handle installation of electric heat assemblies of this type.

The EC-10BKN is suited for electric heat applications in air handlers, fan coils, and ducted HVAC systems where a 10 kW non-fused heater assembly is specified. It is designed for installations requiring 240 volt single phase power at 60 Hz. Typical use cases include residential and light commercial electric heat applications where the equipment manufacturer or engineer has specified a non-fused field-installed or OEM-replacement heater of this capacity.

Key Features

• 10 kilowatt heating capacity for substantial electric heat output in ducted systems
• 240 volt single phase 60 Hz operation
• Open-coil resistive heating elements for efficient heat transfer to airstream
• Automatic high-temperature limit controls for overtemperature protection
• Non-fused design requires external overcurrent protection at the panel or equipment disconnect
• Factory wiring terminations included to streamline field installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or field-installed electric heat assembly for compatible HVAC systems specifying a 10 kW non-fused heater operating at 240 volts single phase.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power to the air handler or equipment before beginning installation. Because this assembly is non-fused, a properly rated overcurrent protective device must be provided externally in the supply circuit. Verify that the supply voltage, phase configuration, and circuit ampacity match the heater assembly requirements before energizing.
