Fenwal 01-017002-306 Thermoswitch
The Fenwal 01-017002-306 Thermoswitch is a high-precision, strut-and-tube type temperature controller designed for industrial and commercial thermal management. Built with a rugged stainless steel outer shell that acts as the active sensing member, this unit provides a fast response time with minimal thermal lag. This specific model is factory-configured for a 300°F set point and utilizes a Normally Closed (NC) contact configuration that opens on temperature rise, effectively interrupting the circuit to protect downstream equipment or maintain process stability. Its sensitivity of 0.1°F ensures tight control over narrow temperature differentials, preventing significant overshoot in critical HVACR and process heating applications.
Engineered for durability in harsh environments, the Fenwal 01-017002-306 features vibration resistance and is capable of handling electrical loads up to 10 Amps at 120 VAC or 5 Amps at 240 VAC. The block head design allows for secure mounting and integration into reamed holes or direct immersion into fluid mediums. For technicians performing field replacements, this industrial thermoswitch is frequently used in hydraulic presses, commercial ovens, and laboratory equipment where consistent thermal cycling is required. Its "anticipation" characteristics, inherent to the differential expansion principle of its internal struts, further refine accuracy during rapid temperature changes, making it a reliable standard for professional contractors.
Key Benefits- Precision Thermal Sensing: Features a high-expansion stainless steel shell for almost instantaneous response to temperature fluctuations.
- Enhanced Accuracy: Resolution sensitivity of 0.1°F (0.05°C) provides superior control compared to standard bimetallic thermostats.
- Rugged Construction: Designed with industrial-grade materials to resist mechanical vibration and maintain set-point stability.
- Reliable Safety Interface: Normally Closed contacts provide a dependable "open on rise" action to prevent equipment overheating.
- Versatile Integration: Compact block head configuration facilitates easy installation in diverse machinery and HVACR systems.
Is the set point adjustable in the field?
While this unit comes factory-preset at 300°F, many Fenwal Series 17000 units feature an internal adjusting sleeve. However, it is recommended to verify the specific model's adjustment range before attempting calibration to ensure performance remains within listed specifications.
What is the maximum electrical rating for this switch?
The standard contact rating is 10A at 120VAC or 5A at 240VAC. For loads involving high inrush currents, like tungsten lamps or heavy motors, using a suppression capacitor or an external relay is advised to prevent contact welding.
How do I ensure the fastest response time?
For optimal sensitivity, the sensing shell should be in direct contact with the medium. If using a thermowell, ensure it is accurately machined to minimize air gaps, though direct immersion provides the best thermal transfer.
Item is Non Cancelable / Non Returnable
