Eaton Cutler-Hammer FH26 Heater Element

Eaton Cutler-Hammer FH26 Heater Element

The Eaton Cutler-Hammer FH26 Heater Element is a critical component for Type A or B thermal overload relays used in motor control circuits. Engineered for precise thermal protection, this Type FH melting alloy heater provides reliable tripping characteristics to prevent motor burnout under overcurrent conditions. Designed for use in Freedom Series starters and legacy Citation line starters, the FH26 ensures accurate current sensing. When selecting this element, contractors must verify the full load amps (FLA) against the specific starter size and enclosure type, as this heater is rated for 2.20/2.99A performance profiles depending on the application. The thermal magnetic response is strictly calibrated to industry standards, offering a robust solution for industrial motor management. Proper installation within the NEMA rated starter assembly ensures consistent motor overload protection and system longevity in demanding HVACR environments.

Key Benefits for Technicians
  • Compatible with Eaton Cutler-Hammer starters utilizing 10, 11, 13, 14, and 15 series thermal overload relays.
  • Features melting alloy technology for repeatable trip points and resistance to vibration-induced nuisance tripping.
  • Engineered for Class 20 tripping, making it suitable for standard motor starting duty cycles.
  • Direct replacement for WestingHouse heater elements, maintaining compliance with original equipment specifications.
  • Constructed with a heavy-duty design to handle the thermal demands of industrial motor control centers.
Common Questions

What is the trip current for the FH26 heater?
The FH26 heater element is rated for a specific current range; however, the actual trip point depends on the service factor of the motor and the starter enclosure ventilation. Always consult the Starer Selection Table for precise FLA matching.

Can I use an FH26 in a manual motor protector?
This heater is specifically designed for NEMA size magnetic starters and specific manual starters that accept Type FH elements. Verify the physical dimensions and mounting clips match your existing overload block.

How do I verify if the FH26 is the correct size for my motor?
Cross-reference your motor nameplate FLA (Full Load Amps) with the heater table located inside the starter door to ensure the 2.20/2.99A range aligns with your specific heater code requirements.
