Hi all,

I was working with a Bristol compressor today, haven't really paid attention to the wiring as im just doing the comp change after another guy diagnosed.

It's a two speed compressor, Low and High....obviously

My question is, there are 3 contactors labelled for this one compressor (no i haven't looked at wiring etc waiting on a wiring diagram Wednesday)

Contactor 1- Compressor 1 Main
Contactor 2- Compressor 1 Low speed
Contactor 3- Compressor 1 High speed

So how would this work then? 3phase comp by the way

Thanks
