Review: GMR32B Phase Controller — "Manual Hot" Mode

Q4: Does the GMR32B work with resistive and inductive loads?

A: Yes, but for inductive loads, you must add an external snubber (as mentioned in Section 4) and derate current by 20%.

: Look for damaged or corroded wiring that may be contributing to resistance. Clean Contacts

  1. Reduce load current by 50% (e.g., lower thermostat setpoint).
  2. Aim a separate 120V box fan directly at the controller’s heatsink.
  3. Download the original GMR32B phase controller manual from the manufacturer’s support portal (do not rely on generic versions).
  4. Inspect all three fuses—a blown fuse on one phase forces the remaining two to carry extra current, causing them to overheat quickly.

High Reliability:

Reviewers emphasize its robust construction compared to lower-cost generic alternatives, noting it offers a longer service life in demanding industrial environments. Compact Protection: Its small form factor (

Troubleshooting and Maintenance

Output Logic:

Use the relay output terminals (often 11, 12, and 14 ) to connect to your contactor coil or motor starter circuit.
