I have carrier air and heat heating on on heat unit but it has two it has two 28 volt relays that operate the heat strips. One was not working so I purchased another onewith the same ratings but it won't energize. They both say 28 volt dc but when I measured it it has 28volt ac on them. The only thing I can fiqure id their must be a rectifier in the old one. Did they make one like this and where do I find one or can I add a rectifier to the new one. Hope there is an answer out there Thanks.:

Warren heater web site to contact them

Warren Products - Heaters

Now if you have the exact relay numbers I might be able to transpose them. All the numbers and brand name are needed for the relays to be able to do this..

The contacts might be rated at 28 VDC. There my be an AC rating too. I suspect that the coil is 24 VAC. Need relay part numbers.

I have just about all major catalogues for HVAC components and there is no cross over for that Number.

What part of the world do you live in? Are you in the USA?

Some of the foreign catalogues I do not have . If all else fails contact the manufacturer.
Sorry but no help on my end.

Is there a brand on the relays. You can always move them and substitute. Sometimes there are icons that identify a brand. Can you take a pic and post via "Go advanced"?

A HUGE selection of relays can be found at Relay Specialties, Inc. - A World of Components

Coil and contact rating must be known.

This is the contact rating:

30a-240vac
20amp 28volt dc

US - Electronic Components Distributor | Newark.com and Digi-Key Corporation - USA Home Page have selector guides.

If this is off board, then it's a simple contactor and readily available.

These are better relays. SC-E1-24VAC Products
