GE 30A Lighting Contactor
This GE CR463L20AJA10A0 is a 30 amp electrically held lighting contactor designed for controlling lighting circuits in commercial and industrial settings. It operates on a 120V AC coil and features a two-pole configuration suitable for single and three-phase motor loads.
NEMA 1 Enclosure Installation
The unit mounts within a NEMA 1 rated enclosure measuring 10.0 inches high, 10.0 inches wide, and 4.63 inches deep. Installers must verify the enclosure provides adequate wire bending space and that the mounting surface supports the contactor weight. Incorrect coil voltage connection is a common wiring error.
Voltage and Phase Compatibility
Before ordering, confirm the control circuit supplies 120V AC at 50 or 60 Hz and that the load voltage matches one of the rated horsepower values: 120V, 208V, 240V, 480V, or 575V. The contactor is not suited for loads exceeding 30 amps full load current or for DC control circuits.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the contactor is operating correctly after wiring it to a 120V AC coil?
Apply 120V AC to the coil and confirm the two poles close, then measure continuity across the power contacts while the coil remains energised.
What hardware is included with the GE CR463L20AJA10A0 and what must be sourced separately?
The unit ships with the electrically held contactor in a NEMA 1 enclosure; mounting screws, wire connectors and branch-circuit protection are not supplied.
Which coil voltage and pole configuration should I select for a 120V AC control circuit switching a 30 A lighting load?
Choose the 120V AC coil with 2-pole arrangement, rated 30 A full-load amps, matching the control voltage and pole count shown in the specifications.
