ClimateMaster 24316706 Circuit Breaker
The ClimateMaster 24316706 Mini Circuit Breaker is a critical 7 Amp OEM replacement component engineered to provide precise overcurrent protection in high-performance geothermal and water-source heat pump systems. As a genuine ClimateMaster circuit breaker, this unit is designed to bridge the gap between sensitive control boards (like the DXM2 or CXM series) and line-voltage loads, ensuring that transient electrical faults do not cause catastrophic failure of expensive internal components.
Constructed with a thermal-magnetic tripping mechanism, the 24316706 provides consistent protection against both sustained overloads and high-amperage short circuits. Its compact footprint is specifically optimized for tight electrical control boxes found in residential and commercial ClimateMaster HVAC units. Technicians prefer this miniature circuit breaker for its snap-fit terminal configuration, which facilitates rapid field installation and secure wiring connections. By maintaining the specific 7A amperage rating required by the manufacturer, you ensure the system operates within its engineered safety parameters, preventing nuisance tripping while providing a reliable safety buffer for the HVAC compressor and blower motor circuits.
- Direct OEM Compatibility: Guaranteed fit for ClimateMaster equipment, eliminating the risk associated with generic 7-amp substitutes.
- Precision Overcurrent Protection: High-sensitivity 7 Amp rating specifically tuned to protect low-voltage transformers and control circuits.
- Rapid Reset Capability: Features a clear manual reset toggle for fast diagnostic confirmation and system restoration.
- Industrial-Grade Durability: Built to withstand the high-vibration and fluctuating temperature environments typical of heat pump cabinets.
- Compact Profile: Engineered for space-saving integration into crowded electrical panels and distribution boards.
Common Questions
Can I replace a 5 Amp breaker with the 24316706 7 Amp version?
No. Circuit breakers must always match the amperage rating specified on the equipment’s data plate and wiring diagram. Using a higher amperage breaker can leave sensitive components unprotected, potentially leading to electrical fires or board damage.
What causes this mini breaker to trip repeatedly?
Frequent tripping usually indicates a high-resistance short in the wiring, a failing contactor coil, or an issue with the 24V transformer. Always perform a continuity check and verify the total amperage draw of the protected circuit before replacing the breaker.
Is this part interchangeable with Carrier-branded units?
Yes, as ClimateMaster is a brand within the same parent family, this part number is frequently cross-referenced in various Carrier and industrial HVAC assemblies that utilize the same 7A circuit specifications.
