FH40

5492-FH40 thermal overload heater element used to provide crucial overcurrent protection for industrial electric motors - Part Number: FH40 (Alternate SKU: 5492-FH40, 177C524G40)Full Load Amperage (FLA) Range: 9.8 A Minimum to 10.5 A MaximumTrip Type: Standard Thermal TripCompatible Starter Families: Westinghouse / Cutler-Hammer A200 and B100 SeriesCompatible NEMA Starter Sizes: Size 0, Size 1, and Size 2Certifications: UL listed and CSA certified - This component is installed directly into a magnetic motor starter or a thermal overload relay block. It monitors the electrical current drawn by the motor. If the motor draws current within the 9.8–10.5 Amp range for an unsafe duration, the heater element warms up a bimetallic strip or melts a eutectic alloy block inside the relay, tripping the starter and cutting power to prevent motor burnout.Because Eaton acquired Westinghouse's industrial control division, this exact part is fully interchangeable with the Eaton / Cutler-Hammer FH40
