Eaton FH18 Thermal Unit
The Eaton FH18 thermal unit provides overload protection for NEMA size 0, 1 and 2 starters. It suits maintenance engineers and panel builders who need a direct replacement for Series A200 or B100 motor controllers.
Trip Class 20 replacement
This unit replaces thermal elements that have drifted out of calibration or failed after extended service. The upgrade is worthwhile when the existing starter trips inconsistently or shows discoloration around the heater coil.
Sustained load behaviour
Trip Class 20 allows the element to carry moderate overloads for longer periods before opening, matching the thermal inertia of typical industrial motors. Under continuous duty the transparent housing lets technicians verify element condition without removing the cover.
