Description
The Packard C360A Contactor is a 3-pole, 60A, 24V coil and a definite-purpose electrical switching part in refrigeration to control high-voltage loads such as compressors, condenser fans, and blower motors. It operates using a 24 VAC control signal, which energizes the coil and pulls in the contacts to switch up to 60 amps of line voltage, typically 208/600V. When the coil is de-energized, the contacts open and safely disconnect the load. Mounted in outdoor condenser units, air handlers and packaged HVAC systems it plays a key role in enabling thermostat-controlled operation and ensuring safe high power.
