Hello Gary,

Give me a day or two, and I'll post it on this thread. That way as suggested, all will have access.

This relay is not a contactor relay, it is a potential relay. It is a separate relay, not the low 24vac relay. I believe it is designed to engage when there is no (low) voltage across it, and disengage, based on the back voltage (EMF) that the compressor coils generate when spooling up to speed. There are only 3 wires going to this relay. It removes the start capacitor from the circuit, when the motor in the compressor is at about 3/4 of full speed. Most motors today have centrifugal switches that open up when the armature spins so fast to do the same thing.

I know of an appliance store in town that does A/C and heating work. I will try to get there today, and see if they have any insight.

Thanks to all,
