Bard EHWA02A-A10B Heat Kit

The Bard EHWA02A-A10B is a field-installable 10KW electric heat kit engineered specifically for Bard wall-mount air conditioners and heat pumps. Designed for 208/230V, single-phase (1PH) operation, this supplemental heater provides a nominal 34,130 BTU/hr to handle peak heating loads or emergency backup requirements. It features a heavy-duty nichrome heating element and an integrated limit control to prevent thermal overloading, ensuring safe operation within the plenum. The kit includes a pre-wired plug-in connector for streamlined integration with the unit's control board, reducing field labor and potential wiring errors. This Bard heater assembly is built with high-grade insulators and corrosion-resistant materials to withstand high-velocity airflow and cycling demands. For contractors, the EHWA02A-A10B ensures a precise fit for W24, W30, and W36 series units, maintaining the system's UL certification while providing reliable auxiliary heating in demanding commercial or telecommunications applications.

• Integrated Safety Controls: Includes primary and secondary thermal cutouts to protect the blower motor and cabinet against over-temperature conditions.
• Simplified Field Wiring: Uses a direct plug-in harness for the control circuit, eliminating complex point-to-point wiring during installation.
• Heavy-Duty Contactor: Equipped with a robust power contactor designed for high-cycle reliability in residential and light commercial HVAC environments.
• Precise Fitment: Engineered as an OEM component to ensure proper airflow resistance and heat dissipation within the established cabinet footprint.

Common Questions

Is the EHWA02A-A10B compatible with older WA series units?
Compatibility depends on the specific revision of the wall-mount unit. This kit is primarily designed for newer generation W series models; always verify the electrical data plate on the cabinet for approved Bard heat kit part numbers.

Does this kit require a separate power supply from the outdoor unit?
No, it is typically powered via the main unit's power block, though you must ensure the Minimum Circuit Ampacity (MCA) and overcurrent protection (MOCP) are sized correctly for the total 10KW load.

Can this heater be installed in a downflow configuration?
The EHWA021A-A10B is designed for standard airflow configurations. Consult the unit’s specific technical manual to confirm orientation limits for electric resistance heaters.
