Supco Q113 Heat Sequencer Overview
The Supco Q113 is a dependable heat sequencer engineered for use in electric furnaces, air handlers, and heat strip applications. By staggering the activation of multiple heating elements, the Q113 prevents simultaneous current inrush that can trip breakers, overload electrical panels, and shorten the service life of heating components. It is an essential replacement part for maintaining safe, efficient, and reliable electric heating operation.
How a Heat Sequencer Works
Heat sequencers use a bimetal or electromechanical mechanism to time-delay the energizing of individual heating elements. Rather than all elements switching on at once, the Q113 brings each stage online in a controlled sequence — reducing peak demand on the electrical system and providing smoother, more consistent heat delivery throughout the conditioned space.
