Trane RLY3179 Relay
The Trane RLY3179 is a specialized 24V 1A 80s Time Delay Relay engineered for precision sequencing in residential and light commercial HVAC applications. This critical control component facilitates a fixed 80-second delay-on-make, a vital safeguard that prevents compressor short cycling and mitigates the electrical stress caused by rapid power fluctuations. Designed for seamless integration with 24VAC control circuits, the Trane RLY3179 Relay is a direct replacement for many discontinued OEM timing boards, ensuring your equipment operates within its intended thermal and mechanical parameters. Its robust 1-ampere contact rating makes it highly compatible with modern air handlers, heat pumps, and condensing units where reliable low-voltage signal switching is mandatory for system longevity. For technicians troubleshooting ignition sequences or blower delays, this HVAC time delay relay provides a simplified, compact footprint that fits easily into existing control panels, maintaining original factory specifications without requiring complex modifications.
Key Benefits
- Optimized Compressor Protection: The 80-second fixed delay prevents rapid cycling, significantly extending the service life of the compressor.
- Broad Compatibility: Efficiently handles 24VAC control signals at 1 amp, making it suitable for a wide range of Trane and American Standard indoor and outdoor equipment.
- Industrial-Grade Reliability: Hardened construction designed to withstand the high-temperature environment of an electrical control box.
- Simplified Field Replacement: Compact design allows for fast installation as a direct replacement relay, reducing downtime on the job site.
Common Questions
How does this relay protect the HVAC system from short cycling?
The relay introduces a forced 80-second pause before allowing the circuit to close. This ensures that the system pressures have enough time to equalize after a shutdown, preventing high-torque starts that cause motor burnout.
Can I use the RLY3179 in a 120V or 240V circuit?
No. This relay is specifically rated for 24V control power. Applying line voltage to the coil will result in immediate failure of the component and potential damage to the transformer.
What is the maximum amperage this relay can handle?
The Trane RLY3179 is rated for a 1-ampere load. It is designed to switch control-level signals rather than high-current motors or electric heat strips directly.
