Replacement Relay needed Diamond H Controls
Hi, I have a kiln that is buzzing and I have narrowed it down to the relay, its a Diamond M controls number BW240A02 147, does anyone know a supplier that still stocks these or know of a direct replacement? thank you for any help received.

Re: Replacement Relay needed Diamond M Controls
Is it possible that it is Diamond H and not M?
If so, Heatrod in Bolton own the brand and do a range of process control relays and contactors. Otherwise show us a picture, relays are often generic. https://www.heatrod.com/industrial/i...rs-and-sensors

Re: Replacement Relay needed Diamond M Controls
That's more like a Contactor
Might pay you to rewire if for something current. Cheers Mike T

Re: Replacement Relay needed Diamond M Controls
That confirms it's Diamond H, have you contacted Heatrod?
You don't say what part of the kiln is buzzing and if the kiln works or not.

Re: Replacement Relay needed Diamond H Controls
I work in the Switchboard (Industrial Motor Control) sphere, so may be able to help.
What sort of connections are on the relay? - Are they 1/4" tabs (faston) or does it have a plug-in base? or is it soldered in? Looking at the ratings on the can, there are a number of modern relay you could replace it with - Finder, ABB, Schneider to name a few. If you can give details of connection and mounting I can suggest a replacement for you. If you don't have access to a wholesaler, I could get one for you also. Regards. |
