Carrier CRHEATER105A00 Electric Heat Kit
The Carrier CRHEATER105A00 Electric Heat Kit is a field-installed accessory designed for seamless integration with 3-phase commercial rooftop units and select air handlers. This 16.0 kW electric heater provides a nominal heating capacity of 54,640 BTUH when operated at 240V, or 40,980 BTUH at 208V. Built as a genuine Carrier OEM part, it utilizes open-coil resistance wires supported by ceramic insulators to ensure high-thermal conductivity and long-term durability in heavy-duty cycles. The CRHEATER105A00 is an essential component for technicians requiring supplemental or primary electric heat for models such as RHS036H, RHS048H, RHS060H, RAS048H, and other compatible 3-ton to 6-ton platforms. This kit simplifies field-wiring with a single-point connection capability when paired with the appropriate fuse block or terminal kit, making it the professional standard for maintaining factory-rated airflow and thermal output without compromising system integrity.
Key Benefits
- OEM Compatibility: Specifically engineered for Carrier, Bryant, and Payne systems to ensure exact fitment and safe system operation.
- High Thermal Output: Delivers a reliable 16.0 kW at 240V / 3-phase to meet demanding commercial heating requirements.
- Modular Design: Features a keyed frame for precise positioning in the heater compartment, facilitating efficient HVAC installation.
- Professional Grade: Includes factory-engineered safety limits to prevent overheating and maintain consistent discharge temperatures.
- Integrated Efficiency: Designed to maintain published AHRI ratings and sound level specifications for the base equipment.
Common Questions
Is the CRHEATER105A00 compatible with single-phase power?
No, this specific model is designed for 208/240V 3-phase applications. Unlike some smaller kits, this 16 kW module is factory-wired for 3-phase power and does not support single-phase conversion.
Where should this heater be installed within the unit?
Per technician guidelines, the CRHEATER105A00 is a keyed module and must be installed in Location 1 (closest to the single-point box) within the heater compartment of 3-ton to 12.5-ton units.
Does this kit require a separate single-point box?
For many applications, a Single Point Box (SPB) is required if the total unit MOCP exceeds 60 amps or to provide terminal termination for field power wiring. Always verify the unit’s electrical data table for specific kit requirements.
