General Electric Heater CoilHeater Selection Information To prevent overloading the starter, do not select heater(s) for a motor of larger rating than the maximum given on the nameplate for the starter. For continuous rated motors, with a service factor of 1.15 to 1.25,select the heater with maximum motor amperes equal to or immediately greater than the motor full-load […]Read more
Cutler-Hammer Heater CoilMagnetic Motor Control Heater coils are rated to protect 40½°C rise motors, and open and drip-proof motors having a service factor of 1.15 where the motor and the controller are at the same ambient temperature. For other conditions: For 50½°C, 55½°C, 75½°C rise motors and enclosed motors having a service factor of 1.0, select one […]Read more
