REPLACING THE

COMPRESSOR

CONTACTOR

IMPORTANT: Always refer to the wiring dia- grams that came with your chiller to locate spe- cific electrical compo- nents. Illustrations in the User Guide are intended to be representative only.

WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard

Only qualified service personnel who have been trained on electrical testing and the procedures for avoiding the hazards should diagnose or correct prob- lems that require opening the unit with power on.

The compressor may be located in the compressor electrical enclosure or in the main chiller electrical enclosure, depend- ing on the model of your chiller.

The compressor contactor should be replaced if:

●You have checked the amp draw on each of the three-phase legs and discovered a voltage imbalance greater than 10%.

●You have checked the continuity and found that ohms at the coil equal zero.

To replace the compressor contactor:

1	Disconnect and lockout the main power.

2	Open the electrical enclosure. Turn the screw on
	the front panel counterclockwise to open.

3	Disconnect the wires from the compressor con-
	tactor contactor. Label the wires to ensure you can
	connect them correctly to the new contactor.

4	Remove and discard the old contactor.
	Reverse this procedure to install the new con-
5	Reverse this procedure to install the new con-
	tactor. Make sure the wires are connected correctly.
