Thermal Unit 2.76 A
The GE CR123H317A is a thermal protection unit rated for a full load current of 2.76 A. It serves as a replacement component for industrial motor control circuits requiring this specific current rating. The transparent housing allows visual inspection of the internal mechanism. This part is designed for maintenance engineers and electricians servicing compatible GE starters.
Replaces compatible GE starters
This unit replaces thermal elements in GE CR101H, CR101H1, CR101H11, CR101Y, CR101Y1 and CR101Y11 series starters. It also crosses to Grainger part numbers 3HYJ6 through 3HYK2. The upgrade is justified when the original element has tripped repeatedly or shows signs of heat damage. It restores the original overload protection characteristics for the rated motor load.
Check starter model and current rating
Verify that your starter model appears in the compatible manufacturer part number list before ordering. Confirm the motor full load current matches the 2.76 A rating of this unit. Ensure the control circuit voltage and wiring configuration are compatible with the existing starter housing. This item is restricted from sale in certain states; confirm local regulations apply.
