NVENT HOFFMAN ECHT50 Heater 50W

Why Choose the nVent HOFFMAN ECHT50 Compact Enclosure Heater?

The nVent HOFFMAN ECHT50 is a compact, double-insulated 50 W enclosure heater with integrated thermostat designed to prevent condensation inside electrical enclosures and control cabinets. As part of the nVent HOFFMAN ECHT compact heater series, it combines efficient PTC heating technology with thermostatic control to help protect electrical and electronic equipment from moisture caused by changing ambient temperatures.

The ECHT50 uses a self-regulating PTC resistor heating element with temperature limiting for dependable enclosure heating. Its integrated plug-in thermostat eliminates the need to wire a separate thermostat, helping save valuable cabinet space and reduce installation time. The thermostat has a starting temperature of 5 °C and a switch-off temperature of 15 °C.

With a heating capacity of 50 W and an operating voltage of 120–240 V AC, the ECHT50 is suitable for a wide range of industrial electrical installations. A mounting clip enables straightforward installation onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail, while its touch-safe, double-insulated construction provides an IP20, Class II protection design.

Reliable Anti-Condensation Heating for Electrical Enclosures

Condensation can develop inside electrical enclosures when ambient temperatures change rapidly, potentially exposing sensitive electrical and electronic equipment to moisture. The nVent HOFFMAN ECHT50 provides controlled heating inside the enclosure to help maintain suitable internal conditions and minimise the risk of water condensation.

The integrated thermostat automatically controls heater operation according to temperature, starting at approximately 5 °C and switching off at approximately 15 °C. Combined with its compact DIN rail mounting and PTC heating element, this makes the ECHT50 particularly suitable for control panels and automation cabinets where installation space and reliable thermal management are important.

Typical Applications

• Industrial electrical enclosures and control cabinets.
• Anti-condensation heating in electrical panels.
• Industrial automation and machine control systems.
• Switchgear and electrical distribution cabinets.
• Instrumentation and electronic equipment enclosures.
• DIN rail mounted control panel installations.
