The Wacker Neuson Power Cable is a genuine OEM component designed for E5000 Ground Heaters and CH5000 Cross Heaters. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this cable meets the exact electrical specifications required for safe and consistent power delivery in ground-heating applications. It is confirmed compatible with gas burner, diesel burner, and generator-equipped variants across both the E5000 and CH5000 series.
Key Features
- Correct Conductor Rating: — Built to the exact electrical specification for E5000 and CH5000 heater systems, ensuring proper current capacity and connection integrity.
- Genuine OEM Part: — Supplied by Wacker Neuson as part number 5000173255, identical to the cable installed at the factory — no cutting, splicing, or adaptation needed.
- Broad Series Compatibility: — Fits E5000 Ground Heaters (gas burner, diesel burner, and 12kW generator/diesel variants) and CH5000 Cross Heaters with oil burner and generator configurations.
- Sustained Heating Performance: — A damaged or degraded power cable can interrupt heater operation mid-cycle; replacing it with the correct OEM cable restores uninterrupted power flow to the burner system.
- Electrical Safety Compliance: — Heater power cables carry line voltage in demanding cold-weather environments; using the correctly rated OEM cable is essential for safe operation and compliance with equipment electrical standards.
The power cable on an E5000 or CH5000 ground heater is the primary conductor that delivers electrical power from the supply source to the heater's control and burner system. Without a sound cable, the heater cannot operate reliably — voltage drop, damaged insulation, or a failed connector can cause intermittent shutdowns or prevent startup entirely. Replacing a worn or damaged cable with the correct OEM part restores full electrical continuity and keeps the heating system operating as designed in cold-weather ground-thawing conditions.
