Lennox 10W50 Electric Heater
The Lennox 10W50 (Model PHK15CP-1) is a critical 15kW electric heater kit specifically engineered for secondary or emergency heating in dual-fuel and heat pump configurations. Designed for 208/230V single-phase operation, this unit delivers up to 51,200 BTUh, ensuring consistent thermal performance during defrost cycles or extreme ambient drops when the primary compressor loses efficiency. This OEM Lennox heat kit features a heavy-gauge steel element plate and high-grade porcelain insulators to secure the nichrome heating coils, preventing sagging and ensuring long-term dielectric integrity. The integrated terminal block and factory-mounted HVAC circuit breaker simplify field wiring, providing a streamlined path for the Minimum Circuit Ampacity (MCA) requirements typically found in LRP, PRP, and Q series packaged units.
Key Benefits for HVAC Professionals
- Includes a 60A circuit breaker for simplified overcurrent protection and compliance with NEC/CEC standards.
- Engineered for Lennox air handler compatibility, ensuring the heater matches original airflow pressure drop specifications.
- Features nichrome heating elements for efficient thermal transfer and oxidation resistance in high-demand industrial or residential environments.
- Integrated 24VAC transformer and relay assembly ensures seamless communication with the indoor control board and thermostat.
- Factory-tested for auxiliary heat reliability, providing immediate backup during heat pump mechanical failures.
Common Questions from Contractors
What is the maximum overcurrent protection required for this 15kW kit?
While the 10W50 is rated for 15kW, the specific Maximum Overcurrent Protection (MOP) depends on the blower motor full load amps (FLA) of your specific air handler. Always verify the unit nameplate for the combined ampacity before sizing your disconnect and field supply wires.
Can this heater be used in horizontal air discharge applications?
Yes, these Lennox electric heaters are built for flexible installation, allowing for upflow, downflow, or horizontal orientations, provided the unit is installed in the conditioned or unconditioned spaces specified in the original equipment guidelines.
Is a separate power supply required for the indoor blower?
No, this 15kW electric heater typically serves as the single point of power entry for the indoor section, distributing voltage to the blower motor through its integrated control circuit.
