OEM Carrier 40VA Control Transformer for Model C4850C50Z3030500
This is the factory OEM replacement control transformer (part# HT01BD236) for the Carrier C4850C50Z3030500 packaged unit. The transformer steps down 120V line voltage to the 24V signal used by your thermostat, control board, contactor coil, and all low-voltage safety circuits. When this component fails, the entire control circuit goes dark — the thermostat loses power, the system stops responding to calls for heating or cooling, and no safety lockouts or diagnostics can function.
