Re: Is a Potetial relay position sensitive?
Well, I did a quick search on Google and most of them said " multiple mounting positions" then I found this - so now I'm not sure http://relays.tycoelectronics.com/da.../38_Series.pdf

Re: Is a Potetial relay position sensitive?
Yes, potential relays are position sensitive. Each must be calibrated for the position it's to be used in. By installing one in an incorrect position, you risk, altering the Pick up and Drop out voltages.

Re: Is a Potetial relay position sensitive?
Hi,
P.relays usually sit in the upright position they are gravity assisted to switch over from start to run,lying them down (connections at the top) inhibits the cross over, causes the relay to stay in start position thus burning out the start windings.

depends on make of relay
for instance copeland oem relay is position sensitive but an aftermarket such as mars is multi positional

usually the cheaper relays are position sensetive which is the reason compressor manufactures love them

I didn't know potential relays sensitive to position. Dang, all these years. Seems most are mounted spade up, but I recall hundreds mounted on the back wall and at other tilts.
