Carrier P282-0321 Contactor
The Carrier P282-0321 Contactor is a robust, 2 pole definite purpose contactor engineered for high-cycle reliability in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. Designed as a direct OEM replacement part for Carrier, Bryant, and Payne equipment, this component features a 24VAC 50/60Hz coil voltage and is rated for a 30 amp inductive load. The silver cadmium oxide contacts ensure long-lasting switching performance even under the high inrush currents typical of AC condenser units. With its compact footprint and universal mounting bracket, it facilitates a clean installation in tight electrical control boxes. The screw terminals provide secure, vibration-resistant wire terminations, essential for maintaining electrical integrity in high-vibration compressor environments. This definite purpose contactor is specified for applications where duty cycles are frequent and downtime is not an option. Techs should verify FLA and LRA ratings to ensure compatibility with condenser fan motors and compressors.
- OEM Compatibility: Specifically designed to replace Carrier P282-0321 across over 1,000 different HVAC models.
- Reliable Switching: 30 Amp 2 Pole configuration capable of handling 240V/277V line voltage applications.
- Precision Control: 24V coil allows for seamless integration with standard low-voltage thermostats and control boards.
- Durable Construction: High-grade plastic housing and heavy-duty screw terminals prevent arcing and terminal burnout.
Common Questions
Can I use this to replace a single-pole contactor?
Technically, a 2 pole contactor can replace a single-pole unit as it breaks both sides of the line, increasing safety, though you must ensure the amperage and 24V coil voltage match the original specifications.
What are the FLA and LRA ratings for this specific part?
The P282-0321 is rated for 30 Full Load Amps (FLA) and 150 Locked Rotor Amps (LRA) at 240V/277V, making it suitable for most 1.5 to 5-ton AC units.
Does this contactor include a dust cover?
This definite purpose contactor features an open-frame design typical of OEM Carrier components, allowing for better heat dissipation during high-ambient operation.
