Product Overview
GE CR353CC3AH1AB is a compact definite purpose contactor built for single-phase HVAC compressors, refrigeration equipment, and resistance heating circuits. It features a 1-pole plus shunted pole configuration rated for 30 full-load amperes and 40 resistive amperes per pole up to 600 VAC. The electromechanical coil operates on 24 VAC at 50/60 Hz, controlled by standard low-voltage thermostats or building automation panels.
Key Features
- 30 full-load amperes (FLA) inductive rating
- 40 resistive amperes per pole rating
- 1-pole normally open with integrated shunted neutral pole
- 24 VAC 50/60 Hz control coil
- Rated for 277, 480, and 600 VAC line service
- Dual termination: standard binder-head screw terminals and 1/4-inch male quick-connect spade lugs
- Zinc-dichromate plated steel base plate with universal mounting slots
- UL Recognized and CSA Certified component
Applications
- Replacing worn condensing unit compressor contactors during seasonal AC maintenance
- Switching single-phase commercial refrigeration condensing units and heat pump compressors
- Controlling resistive duct heaters and commercial food service equipment
- Shop air compressor controls and high-current machine automation switching
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a 1-pole plus shunt and a standard 2-pole contactor?
A 1-pole plus shunt contactor switches one leg through mechanical contacts while the second leg passes continuously through a solid copper shunt bar. This maintains a continuous circuit to equipment such as crankcase heaters while switching the main compressor load.
What terminals are used for control and power connections?
Line and load power terminals accommodate screw clamping or 1/4-inch female quick-connect terminals. The 24V coil uses dual 1/4-inch spade terminals on each side.
What mounting footprint does this contactor use?
The baseplate features standard slotted mounting holes spaced to replace legacy GE, Square D, Siemens, and Cutler-Hammer definite purpose compact contactors directly onto existing equipment backplates.
The unmistakable clack of an industrial contactor pulling in means the compressor is doing its job and the room is getting cold. Solid copper shunt, heavy contacts, and ready to bolt right back into the control box.
