Thanks HayZee -
Yes, I'm aware of the coil voltages. These are both 24V types. I just couldn't think of a reason why they would not want to have both sides of the circuit broken. Seems like it would be better than just one side, but I don't know what the design engineers had in mind when they put in the single pole. Swapping them out is not difficult, so I don't mind doing it. Neither one of these is totally shot, but I would think they would degrade more rapidly as the pitting worsens. I was only thinking of the possibility of them welding shut one day and wrecking an expensive compressor. They seem like cheap insurance in that regard.
I'm also wondering if it would be OK to upsize them. If I can get a 40/50A instead of the current 30/40A contactor for the same cost or less, does it make sense to go ahead and go up a size? It would not make sense, of course, to go down in size, but I don't see any reason not to go up.
Thanks again, this is a great forum!
