Eaton FH17 Thermal Unit Trip Class 20

The Eaton FH17 is a thermal overload protection unit rated for Trip Class 20. It supports full load current ranges of 1.01 to 1.11 A and 1.17 to 1.28 A. The unit is compatible with NEMA Size 0, 1, and 2 starters. It serves industrial electrical control panels requiring thermal trip functionality.

Suitable Applications and Limits

This unit suits maintenance teams replacing thermal units in Series A200 or B100 starters. It fits panels where the specified current ranges match the motor load. Buyers needing electronic overload relays or different trip classes should look elsewhere. Installations requiring NEMA Size 3 or larger compatibility cannot use this device.

Installation Notes

The thermal unit installs directly into compatible starter housings without special tools. Correct selection depends on matching the exact full load current range to the application. A common error is choosing the wrong current band for the motor nameplate rating. Verify the Grainger part number cross-reference before ordering to ensure proper fit.
