60 AMP (FURNAS #42EF35A3L) CONTACTOR RETROFIT
P/N 952173
For Migmaster 250 or DIP-PAK 250/225/200
(replaces stock 30 amp or 40 amp contactors for extra heavy duty use)
IMPORTANT: Read and understand these instructions
before attempting repair.
Procedure:
Before installing this kit, make sure all primary in-
put power to the power source is disconnected and/
or lock out procedures are in place.
1. Remove right and left side panels.
2. Disconnect upper and lower bus bars connected to
existing E bus on stock contactor. Be sure to re-
tain all hardware for reuse while noting method
of connection!
3. Remove and retain E busses for reuse.
4. Disconnect coil leads from terminals at bottom of
contactor, do not disconnect wires from each other
(make a note of color pairs in case wires come
apart).
5. Remove hardware to mount contactor and retain
for reuse.
6. Find E busses removed in step 3. Using a needle
nosed plier, spread fingers of E bus out slightly
F-15-346 2/2001 5C
on large end. Test fit E bus to new contactor (loosen
connector screws on new contactor), once the E
bus fingers fit within the contactor pole barriers you
may push the E bus against a firm, non-slip work
surface while pushing contactor firmly and evenly
against the E bus. The slots should measure ap-
proximately 3/8" across on the ends and 5/32" in the
middle.
7. After fitting E busses, mount new contactor with
saved hardware from step-5, making sure to orient
coil terminals at the bottom.
8. Reconnect coil wires in same order as removed in
step-4.
9. Mount E busses on upper and lower contactor
poles, be sure to fully tighten all pole screws.
10. Reconnect bus bars (from step-2) with saved hard-
ware, being sure to duplicate original connection
method.
11. Check for loose or missing wires and hardware in
installation and welding power source.
12. If power source has accumulated dust and dirt it
should be cleaned of all loose particles to avoid
the possibility of overheating. Cleaning will also
extend contactor life.
13. Replace panels. Power source is now ready for use.
