Description
The Trane CNT3159 is a Single Pole Normally Open (SPNO) high-pressure switch engineered as an OEM replacement for Trane HVAC systems. Designed to monitor and protect refrigerant circuit integrity, this switch automatically opens the circuit when system pressure reaches the upper threshold and resets upon pressure drop — safeguarding compressors and system components from damaging over-pressure conditions.
How It Works
As a normally open (NO) switch, the CNT3159 closes the electrical circuit under normal operating pressure and opens — interrupting the control circuit — when refrigerant pressure rises to the trip point. This action triggers a protective shutdown, preventing compressor damage and system failures caused by high-side pressure excursions.
