Description
The DP3040B5002 is a definite purpose contactor from Resideo (Honeywell Home), rated 40 amps and built with 3 poles and a 120 Vac coil. It is the switch that lets a low-power control circuit start a compressor, a condenser fan, or an electric heat bank.
A definite purpose contactor is sized for one job rather than for general industrial duty, which is why it costs a fraction of a general purpose starter and still carries the inrush of an air conditioning compressor. The coil pulls the contacts closed when the thermostat or control board calls; when the call drops, spring pressure opens them.
Three poles break all three legs of a three-phase supply. This is the arrangement for commercial condensing units and three-phase electric heat.
The 120 Vac coil is driven from line voltage, which suits equipment where no low-voltage control transformer is present.
The PowerPro line is the heavy-service tier: it is built for the contact wear that comes with frequent cycling on a unit that short-cycles in shoulder season.
Match poles, coil voltage and amp rating to the contactor you are replacing. A contactor with the right coil but too few poles will run the equipment and leave a leg energized at the unit.
