Eaton FH22 Thermal Unit
The Eaton FH22 is a thermal overload unit rated for Trip Class 20 and designed for use with NEMA Size 0, 1 and 2 starters. It suits maintenance teams and panel builders who need reliable motor protection in industrial control circuits.
Integration into a motor starter
The unit fits Series A200 and B100 starters and matches Grainger part numbers 11Z488 through 11Z497. It requires a compatible starter base and wiring to the motor circuit; once installed it frees the starter from nuisance trips during normal start-up inrush.
Current range and trip behaviour
The thermal unit covers full-load current bands of 1.63 to 1.78 A and 1.88 to 2.06 A, opening on sustained overloads per Class 20 timing. It will not protect against short-circuit faults or provide adjustable trip settings beyond the fixed thermal curve.

Questions about this item
At what current does the Eaton FH22 thermal unit trip during prolonged overload?
The thermal unit is rated for trip class 20 and covers full-load current ranges of 1.63 to 1.78 A and 1.88 to 2.06 A, so sustained current above the selected range will cause it to trip.
How much heat does the Eaton FH22 thermal unit generate when operating continuously?
As a thermal overload device, it dissipates heat proportional to the current flowing through it; at the rated ranges of 1.63 to 2.06 A the temperature rise stays within the trip-class-20 limits.
Which motor starter series must I already have for the Eaton FH22 thermal unit to fit?
The unit is compatible with Eaton Series A200 and B100 starters in NEMA sizes 0, 1 and 2.
