Bard EHWA02-A05B Heat Kit
The Bard EHWA02-A05B is a field-installable 5kW electric heat kit designed specifically for integration with Bard wall-mount air conditioners and heat pump units. This 230V single-phase heater package provides reliable supplemental or primary heating capacity, featuring high-grade nichrome heating elements and integrated thermal limit protection to prevent overheating during low-airflow conditions. For contractors performing retrofits or new installations, the EHWA02-A05B includes a built-in circuit breaker (60A) that functions as a local disconnect, simplifying NEC compliance and wiring tasks. The unit utilizes a plug-and-play wiring harness for seamless communication with the blower control board, ensuring precise sequencing of heat stages. This Bard 5kW auxiliary heater is compatible with various WA and WH series chassis, providing 17,065 BTU/h of heat output. Engineering tolerances ensure minimal static pressure drop, maintaining system SEER ratings while delivering consistent discharge air temperatures across the coil.
- Integrated 60 Amp Circuit Breaker: Provides essential overcurrent protection and serves as a manual disconnect for simplified servicing.
- Direct-Fit Compatibility: Engineered for Bard WA and WH series units, ensuring proper alignment with the factory blower assembly.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Features high-temperature ceramic insulators and corrosion-resistant components for long-term reliability in demanding environments.
- Safety Controls: Includes primary and secondary auto-reset thermal cutouts to protect the HVAC cabinet from excessive heat buildup.
Common Questions
Does this heat kit require a separate power supply from the main unit?
No, the Bard EHWA02-A05B is designed to tap into the main system power. The integrated circuit breaker handles the load for both the heater and the blower motor in most standard configurations.
What is the proper CFM requirement for a 5kW heat kit installation?
The unit requires specific minimum airflow (typically around 600-800 CFM depending on the mother-unit size) to prevent the limit switches from tripping. Always verify the blower speed taps are set according to the Bard airflow charts.
Can this kit be used in 208V applications?
Yes, but the heat output will be derated to approximately 3.75kW. Ensure your amperage calculations and wire sizing account for the specific voltage at the job site.
