General Electric CR306D0-LVHPAK Magnetic Contactor

General Electric CR306D0-LVHPAK is a Size 2 magnetic contactor designed to switch AC power in control circuits, offering a reliable method to start, stop, and isolate medium-power loads in electrical panels and equipment. It is rated for up to 600 VAC and 45 A, which covers a wide range of motor controllers, pumps, fans, and other inductive devices in industrial and commercial environments. The CR306D0-LVHPAK sits in GE's line of magnetic contactors, utilizing an electromagnet-driven mechanism to open and close its contacts in response to a control signal, providing a reliable on/off switching function in industrial applications. The Size 2 designation indicates a compact footprint relative to larger series, helping fit into standard panel layouts and simplified installation where space is a consideration. With this model, engineers can design control schemes that require dependable, galvanically isolated switching of mains voltage for moderate-current loads, while maintaining straightforward integration with standard control wiring and enclosure setups.
