Electric Water Heater Control

Type 89TV Series electric storage water heater controls are designed to meet the long life requirements of induced draft gas storage water heaters.

Automatic reset control is adjustable over a 60°F range, from 90°-140°F. The low-load control is used to switch the inductive motor, regulating the adjustable thermostat setting up to a maximum 200°F. An spst switch uses a temperature-sensitive bimetal disc to provide high-speed snap action for long life. A cross-haired V-profile contact design provides improved resistance to contamination through increased force between contacts and a decreased surface area. Mounting tabs snap easily into brackets for water heater tank surface-mount sensing. Units are UL rated at 2.8 FLA, 20 percent power factor, 100,000 cycles, and 4.5 LRA, 120 Vac.
