B-LINE ECX09B5ABA-E – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Eaton XT ECX09B5ABA-E enclosed starter be mounted outdoors or in a washdown area?
Yes. The ECX09B5ABA-E comes in a non-metallic enclosure rated IP66 and NEMA 4X watertight, so it handles outdoor exposure, hose-down cleaning and corrosive atmospheres like food processing, car washes and wastewater plants. The non-metallic housing is the reason for the 4X corrosion rating, so don't drill or modify it in a way that breaks the seal.
2) What size motor will the Eaton ECX09B5ABA-E enclosed starter run?
The overload on the ECX09B5ABA-E is set for a full load current range of 0.6 to 1 FLA, so your motor nameplate current has to land inside that window. The unit itself carries a 7A non-combination ampere rating. If your motor draws more than 1 amp at full load, you need a different overload range, not this one.
3) Does this Eaton XT enclosed control include a disconnect switch?
No. The ECX09B5ABA-E is a non-combination starter with no disconnect. You have to provide upstream short-circuit and disconnect protection, typically a fused disconnect or circuit breaker ahead of it, to meet the service-disconnect requirement at the motor. If you want the disconnect in the same box, you need a combination starter instead.
4) What control voltage does the Eaton ECX09B5ABA-E starter coil need?
The contactor coil is 120 VAC, 60 Hz. Feed the control circuit from a 120V source (separate control power or a control transformer); applying line voltage other than 120V to the coil will not pull the contactor in and can damage it.
5) Can this enclosed starter reverse a motor?
No. The ECX09B5ABA-E is non-reversing, single-direction only, operated by the START/STOP pushbuttons mounted in the cover. For forward/reverse duty you need a reversing enclosed starter with two interlocked contactors.
6) Do I need to add a separate pushbutton station with this Eaton XT enclosed control?
No separate station is needed for basic start/stop. START and STOP pushbuttons are built into the ECX09B5ABA-E cover, so the operator controls are on the enclosure itself. Remote stations would only be required if you want control from a second location.
7) Is the ECX09B5ABA-E a motor starter or just a contactor in a box?
It is a full enclosed motor starter: contactor plus overload set to a 0.6 to 1 FLA range, with START/STOP pushbuttons, in an IP66 / NEMA 4X non-metallic enclosure. What it does not include is a disconnecting means, which is what separates it from a combination starter.
8) How big is the Eaton ECX09B5ABA-E enclosure and how much does it weigh?
It measures 13.31 in height, 9.84 in width and 6.7 in length, and weighs 10 lb. Plan wall space and fastener sizing accordingly; at 10 lb it wants anchors into stud or masonry rather than drywall alone.
