Old oil filled contactor identification
Old oil filled contactor identification
(OP)
Hello,
I have a variety of old, oil filled motor starter/contactors, for 300-900hp synchronous motors. They're installed in C-H Motor Control cabinets, that appear to be 50s vintage. I'm looking to see if I can't find any spares, or parts, for these until a proper replacement can be procured.
There are no identifying markings on these, so I was hoping maybe someone here would be able to identify them.
Thank you,

If they are in C-H control cabinets i would almost bet they are Cutler Hammer contactors.

Read the green label! But I agree about replacing them - oil-filled gear is nasty if it ever has a bad day.

The long-term plan is to replace them, I'm working that plan now. But in the meantime, I was hoping to source a spare contactor and/or parts to maintain these until replacement, as they're production critical equipment.
