Marc Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 Looks like a magnetic contactor with an overload heater on each side - each pole. Commonly used in starter, control and protection circuits on industrial motors. If you got a larger photo, uplink it. It may have some delay circuitry on it too. I can confirm it once I can read the contactor nameplate. Marc

Marc Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 No delay characteristics. Just an industrial contactor with heaters and 120 volt coil. Marc

Marc Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 It's probably being used to control a heavy 240 V load. It wouldn't be an AC condenser because the control voltage is 120 V instead of the 24 VAC used in resid thermostats. I dunno Mike. People do strange things sometimes. Marc
