Fostoria | Portable Electric Salamander | 15KW 240V 3P | FES-1524-3E GWG311304

The Fostoria portable electric Salamander provides 51,195 BTU/hr of fan-forced, all electrical heating. This 3 phase, 15 kW portable heater features an onboard thermostat with 40 to 100 degree Fahrenheit adjustment, with a 60 degree temperature rise for air intake. The heater is easily portable, with an easy to grip handle, 10-In. wheels, and safety screens over the intake and output openings to keep the user safe. The heating elements have a finned, tubular design for long service life, and a high-limit thermal cutout switch with automatic reset for added safety. If no heat is needed, the heater can operate on the fan only with the same 800 CFM airflow that’s used for heating.

How The Fostoria 15kW 240V 3-Phase Compares To Other 15kW Salamander Configurations

Contractors and facility managers evaluating Fostoria's 15kW electric Salamander lineup usually face this question: should I get the 240V single phase version, the 208V 3-phase version, or this 240V 3-phase version to match their facility's power?

Here's the honest comparison:

Why The Fostoria 15kW 240V 3-Phase Is Worth The Investment

This isn't just a jobsite heater, it's built to run on 240V 3 phase power at the lowest amperage draw of the entire 15kW lineup, just 36A, giving contractors and facility managers with 240V 3 phase infrastructure the most electrically efficient way to run this heater at full 51,195 BTU/hr output.

The FES-1524-3E specifically addresses the needs of contractors and facility managers working in factories, assembly areas, or other enclosed spaces with ceilings up to 15 ft. high who already have 240V 3 phase power available and want to minimize circuit demand.

The Same Heat, The Lowest Amperage Draw. At just 36A on 240V 3 phase power, this configuration draws meaningfully less current than either the single phase 240V version or the 208V 3 phase version, while still delivering the identical 51,195 BTU/hr of heating output, making it easier on existing electrical panels and circuit capacity.

Built For Reliable, Adjustable Heating

The onboard thermostat adjusts from 40° to 100°F, giving precise control over the space's temperature

Durable steel venturi housing with finned tubular heating elements provides a steady, secure heat source

The control knob allows simple fan-only operation or thermostat-adjusted heating

Engineered For Safety And Easy Transport

The high-limit thermal cutout switch with automatic reset protects against overheating

Safety screens on both intake and output openings keep the user protected during operation

10-in. wheels make the hand cart design easy to move around the job site or facility

Real Savings

The lowest amperage draw in the 15kW lineup reduces demand on existing electrical panels and circuits

No propane fuel costs or tank refilling reduces the ongoing fuel expense compared to combustion heaters

Finned tubular heating elements designed for long life reduce the frequency of element replacement

Free shipping and no sales tax through Summit Forge Supply keeps the total cost down compared to buying elsewhere and paying tax and freight separately

The Bottom Line Contractors and facility managers with 240V 3 phase power already in place who want to minimize circuit demand can't get a lower amperage draw from the single phase or 208V 3 phase versions of this heater. The Fostoria 15kW 240V 3-Phase Electric Salamander is built with the same 51,195 BTU/hr output as its siblings, at just 36A, so it delivers full heating performance with the least strain on the electrical system. For anyone heating enclosed spaces on 240V 3 phase power, this is the configuration built to draw the least while delivering the most.

Please Note: This heater must be purchased with a 6/4 SO power cord (GWG311303) to accommodate the heater's amperage. The cord does not include a plug. It can accommodate a suitable NEMA plug or be directly wired, depending on the application and user preference.
