Eaton C440A1A020SF0 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What amp range does the Eaton C440 electronic overload relay cover?
The C440 electronic overload relay covers a 9A to 45A adjustment range across its configurations. Pick the configuration whose range brackets your motor's full load amps, so the FLA sits inside the dial range rather than at the very top or bottom of it.
2) Is the Eaton C440 relay a 45mm frame or a 55mm frame?
Both are offered. The 45mm Freedom Size frame comes in NEMA Size 0 (C440A1A020SF0) and NEMA Size 1 (C440A1A045SF1). There is also a 55mm frame in NEMA Size 3, C440B1A100SF3. The frame has to match the contactor it mounts to, so order by the starter size you are building.
3) Can I set the trip class on the Eaton C440 overload relay?
Yes. Trip class is selectable between 10, 20 and 30 on the relay itself, so one part covers a normal-starting load and a high-inertia load. Class 10 for quick trips on standard motors, class 20 or 30 where the motor takes longer to come up to speed, like a loaded fan or a large pump.
4) Is an electronic overload relay better than a bimetallic one for motor protection?
The C440 is electronic rather than bimetallic, which gives accurate, repeatable tripping that does not drift with ambient panel temperature the way a bimetallic element can. It also lets you change trip class in the field instead of swapping heater elements. Bimetallic units stay common where a fixed, simple heater-based setup is acceptable; the electronic unit is the choice when you want one part to cover a range of motors and want the trip point to hold.
5) Does the Eaton C440 overload relay need separate heater elements?
No. The C440 is an electronic relay with an adjustable current range of 9A to 45A and a selectable trip class, so protection is set on the device instead of by ordering and installing heater packs sized to the motor.
6) Is the Eaton C440 relay CE marked for an export machine build?
CE Marked, yes. That is the compliance stated for the C440 electronic overload relay, which is what a panel builder needs when the control assembly is going into a CE-compliant installation.
7) Will the Eaton C440 work in a motor control center bucket?
That is what it is built for. The C440 is a NEMA-style electronic overload relay on Eaton's Freedom Size platform, and the 45mm frame is sized for tight MCC and motor starter layouts. Typical use is NEMA motor starters, MCC buckets, and general industrial machinery motor protection.
8) Does the Eaton C440 come with communications or extra options, or is it the standard unit?
These are the standard feature build, not a communicating or specialty version. You get the electronic overload function with selectable trip class and the 9A to 45A range, suited to general-purpose NEMA motor control work.
