B-LINE ECX09F5ABA – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Eaton XT ECX09F5ABA enclosed starter include a disconnect switch?
No. The ECX09F5ABA is a non-combination enclosed control, so there is no disconnect and no built-in short circuit protection device. You still need an upstream disconnecting means and branch circuit protection (fused disconnect or circuit breaker) to complete the installation. If you want the disconnect inside the same enclosure, you need a combination starter instead.
2) Can the Eaton XT ECX09F5ABA enclosed starter be mounted outdoors or in a washdown area?
The enclosure is rated IP66 and NEMA 4X watertight in non-metallic construction, so it handles hose-directed water and dust, and the non-metallic housing resists corrosion. That covers outdoor, damp, and washdown duty typical of food processing, car washes, and wastewater. It is not rated for hazardous locations.
3) What is the amp rating on the ECX09F5ABA, and what motor will it run?
The non-combination ampere rating is 18A. Size your motor's full load amps against that figure at your line voltage, and set the overload to the motor nameplate FLA. Note the rating is the enclosed control's rating, not a short circuit rating, since no protective device is included.
4) Can I use this Eaton XT enclosed starter to reverse a motor?
No. The ECX09F5ABA is a non-reversing starter, single direction only. For forward/reverse duty on a conveyor, hoist, or damper actuator you need a reversing enclosed starter with two mechanically interlocked contactors.
5) How big is the Eaton XT non-metallic enclosed starter, and how much does it weigh?
Published dimensions are 12.5 in length, 7.5 in height and 7.25 in width, at 2.5 lb. Light enough for a single-person wall mount on unistrut or a machine frame, and the footprint is worth checking against tight panel gaps before you drill.
6) Does this enclosed control come with START and STOP buttons already installed in the cover?
Yes, the cover is factory fitted with START/STOP pushbuttons, so you get local motor control without drilling the enclosure or buying separate operators. Wiring in the field is line in, load out to the motor, and 120 V to the control circuit.
7) Is a non-metallic enclosure a better choice than steel for a motor starter?
Non-metallic wins where corrosion is the problem, wet, chemical, or coastal environments, and it is lighter to hang at 2.5 lb. Painted steel or stainless is the better pick where the box will take mechanical abuse or where you need a grounded metal enclosure for bonding practice. This ECX09F5ABA is the non-metallic IP66 / NEMA 4X version.
