The space heater keeps the internal temperature of the motor • Typically a motor space heater is powered from the customer’s
above the ambient dew point while the motor is OFF. The heater remote electrical supply source through a set of logic contacts
helps to prevent condensation from forming inside the motor in a VFD or motor starter. Most off-the-shelf VFDs do not have

• Having the space heater powered from a remote source other
than the VFD or motor starter helps to assure the heater is
energized even when the disconnect switch for the VFD or motor
starter is off.
The use of the motor space heater is optional. If the space heater is not needed,
these leads can be capped off and taped out of the way. The picture is a typical
