Description
The Lancer Relay 1/3HP 230V/60Hz is the electromechanical switch responsible for energizing the compressor’s start windings. It manages the high inrush current required to launch the refrigeration cycle, ensuring the compressor reaches operating speed quickly before switching to the lower-amperage run circuit.
Problem Solved: Restores cooling functionality to the dispenser. Replaces failing relays with pitted or welded contacts that prevent the compressor from starting or cause it to overheat by staying in the ‘start’ phase too long.
Symptoms of Failure: The compressor making a repeated ‘clicking’ noise without starting, the refrigeration deck tripping the breaker, or the motor humming loudly and becoming hot to the touch without chilling the water bath.
Technician’s Note: When a relay fails, always check the compressor start capacitor as well. A weak capacitor puts additional strain on the relay contacts, leading to premature carbon tracking. Verify that the 230V supply remains stable during the startup surge.Technical Specifications:
