B-Line Eaton Freedom motor control contactor, Freedom Series contactor, Non-reversing, 27A, 240V/60 Hz, 220V/50 Hz coil, Five-pole, -20° to 65°C o

The CN15DN5BB is built with a 220-240 Vac coil that works on either 50 or 60 Hz, so it takes 240V at 60 Hz in North American panels and 220V at 50 Hz elsewhere. If your control circuit runs 120V or 24V, this is the wrong coil code and you need a different suffix in the Freedom line.

The CN15DN5BB is rated 27A across its poles, so it suits motor loads whose full load current stays at or under 27 amps with the usual service factor allowance. Size it against the motor nameplate FLA, not horsepower alone, since the same horsepower draws very different current at 208V, 240V and 480V.

No. The CN15DN5BB is a non-reversing contactor, so it makes and breaks the motor in one direction only. To reverse rotation you need a reversing arrangement, which is two mechanically and electrically interlocked contactors rather than this single unit.

Order Eaton part number CN15DN5BB. Match it against the label on the unit you are replacing, since the Freedom NEMA line uses the trailing characters to set coil voltage and pole count, and a contactor that looks identical on the shelf can carry a 120V coil instead of the 220-240 Vac coil on this one.

Five poles. Three carry the motor phases and the extra two give you additional switched power poles, which is what you want when you are switching a three phase motor plus a separate load such as a heater, brake or a second circuit that has to make and break with the motor. If you only need three phases switched, a three pole Freedom contactor is the simpler order.

Operating temperature runs from -20 to 65 degrees C, which covers an unconditioned garage or pump house in cold climates and a hot rooftop or boiler room at the upper end. Bear in mind that is the ambient inside the enclosure, not outside it, so a sealed NEMA 4 box in direct sun can sit well above the outdoor reading.

Plan for a footprint of 4.32 in wide by 4.44 in deep with a height of 5.05 in, on a 65 mm frame size. At 3.1 lb it is light enough for standard DIN or panel mounting, but leave clearance above and below for wire bending space and for the overload relay if you are stacking one under it.

Yes, it carries a UL Listing, which is what most AHJs and facility electrical specs ask for on motor control components inside a commercial panel. That is the only listing carried on record for this contactor.

It is a contactor only, a switching device for the motor circuit. Overload protection is a separate overload relay sized to the motor FLA, and short circuit protection comes from the breaker or fuses ahead of it. Order those alongside if you are building the starter from scratch.
