Red Jacket Control Box

[wellness]

Hello, debugged for three hours and finally understand how this well pump system work....I have a bad relay in the control box....its a GE 3arr3 ea5b1 relay....the control box is a red jacket...

Anyone knows where I can buy this relay or a replacement part for it....I searched online but cant find anything.....thanks in advance....

I have no familiarity with the seller. Just found this in a search.

A Franklin control box of the appropriate horsepower and voltage will run it

For just the relay, it looks like e-bay has a few starting around $10.00

That relay looks like it has been discontinued in production.


Good Luck.

thanks....I looked but I only see other GE relays...is there something compat with mine....any chance you can send me a link...thanks

Here is some info on the GE part number meaning, to help sub the relay.

Craigpump has the right idea, A Franklin control box may be a better way to go.


Good Luck.

A new control box not only gets you a new relay, it gets you a replacement start capacitor. Those have limited life. They can be replaced but figure $20 or $30 for just that.

I would go with a new control box but I don't know the HP of the pump....its in the well

thanks for the spec file, it was informative....only need two more data points, pickup and operating voltages of this relay and I can buy a replacement....

The control box should have the ratings on it.

How did you determine that the relay is bad ?

 

[wellness]

I measured the impedance across the coil....its open....based on the rating, it should read 1.5K to 3K ohms...let me check the panel again for the rating....

btw, the running cap was bad also....got a new one already

 

[wellness]

why is this so complicated...there is no spec on the pump on the control panel...there is a list of models on the panel but you have to check the power impedance to determine what model the pump is....

based on the reading, its a 50R1....however, cant find anything on this model number....any ideas...
