Trane CTR1494 Contactor

When you are in the field servicing a commercial chiller or a large-scale condenser, you need a high-performance 3-pole contactor that stands up to heavy inductive loads. The Trane CTR1494 (also identified as CTR01494) is the industry-standard HVAC replacement contactor for systems requiring a 110V/120V coil voltage and a 30A full load amp (FLA) rating. This definite purpose contactor features a robust 3-pole configuration, allowing for the simultaneous switching of three separate circuits, which is critical for maintaining phase balance in three-phase motor applications. Designed with quick-connect (QC) terminals, this unit ensures a secure, high-integrity electrical connection, reducing installation time and the risk of terminal overheating. Whether you are troubleshooting a compressor that won't engage or upgrading a legacy control panel, the Trane CTR1494 provides the mechanical durability and electrical precision required for heavy-duty HVACR environments.

• High Amperage Capacity: Rated for 30A FLA and a higher resistive load, making it suitable for compressors and electric heat strips.
• Three-Phase Switching: The 3-pole design allows for the synchronized control of three circuits, essential for 3-phase HVAC motors.
• Efficient Integration: Equipped with quick-connect spade terminals to facilitate rapid field replacement and secure wiring.
• Versatile Application: Found in popular Trane RTAA series chillers and commercial condenser units.

Can I use the CTR1494 in a 24V control circuit?
No, this unit is engineered specifically for a 110V/120V coil voltage. Applying 24V will not provide enough magnetic force to pull in the contacts.

Does the CTR1494 support auxiliary contacts?
This specific model is a standard 3-pole configuration; if your application requires a crankcase heater control, verify if your specific terminal setup requires additional side-mounted auxiliary switches.

Will this replace a 25A 3-pole contactor?
Yes, as a veteran tech knows, you can always up-size the FLA rating. Replacing a 25A contactor with this 30A model provides additional headroom and thermal resilience.
