Tutco EH-05AKNLC Electric Heater 5kw 240V Non-fused

Product Description

The TUTCO EH-05AKNLC is a 5.0 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 to generate heat efficiently across the airstream. The assembly ships with factory wiring terminations and mounting provisions, reducing field prep time. Automatic high-temperature limit controls provide thermal protection without requiring internal fusing. This non-fused configuration means overcurrent protection must be supplied externally by the installing technician per applicable electrical code requirements. Licensed HVAC technicians and electricians are the primary installers of this component.

The EH-05AKNLC is intended for electric heat applications in residential and light commercial forced-air systems where a 5 kW non-fused heater assembly is specified. It is suited for installation in air handlers and ducted HVAC equipment that require factory-matched or field-installed electric heat sections. The non-fused design gives installing contractors flexibility to size and locate overcurrent protection devices according to local electrical codes and the equipment manufacturer's requirements.

Key Features

• 5.0 kW output for consistent, measurable heat delivery in ducted systems
• 240 volt single-phase 60 Hz operation matches standard residential and light commercial supply voltage
• Open-coil resistive heating elements for direct airstream heat transfer
• Automatic high-temperature limit controls for thermal safety protection
• Non-fused configuration allows external overcurrent protection sizing per NEC requirements
• Factory wiring terminations and mounting provisions for straightforward field installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or field-installed electric heat assembly for compatible ducted HVAC equipment requiring a 5 kW non-fused, 240 volt single-phase heater section.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or electrician. Disconnect and lock out all power to the air handler or heat section before beginning work. Because this assembly is non-fused, the installer is responsible for providing properly rated overcurrent protection in accordance with NEC Article 424 and any applicable local electrical codes. Verify that the supply voltage and phase configuration match the heater's rated requirements before energizing the unit.
