Eaton CE15BN2AB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Eaton CE15BN2AB contactor work with a 120V control circuit?
Yes. The CE15BN2AB coil is rated 110/120 VAC, 50/60 Hz, so it drops straight onto a standard 120 V control circuit from a transformer or line-voltage thermostat. Feeding it 24 V or 240 V control will not pull the armature in reliably, so you need a different coil code for those.
2) How big a motor can an Eaton CE15BN2AB Freedom contactor switch?
It is a small B-frame device: 10 A rating and a maximum 0.5 hp. That covers things like small fan motors, pumps, and resistive loads such as heaters and lighting within 10 A. Anything larger than 1/2 hp needs a bigger frame in the Freedom IEC line.
3) Does the CE15BN2AB include motor overload protection?
No overload relay is included. The CE15BN2AB is a bare contactor only, so if you are switching a motor you need to add a separate overload relay or an upstream motor protective device to meet code for motor branch circuits. For contactor-only duty (lighting, heating, resistive loads) no overload is required.
4) Is the Eaton CE15BN2AB contactor supplied in an enclosure?
It ships open, with no enclosure. Mounting is by steel mounting plate, so it is meant to go inside an existing panel, control cabinet, or an enclosure you supply. If the location is wet, dusty, or accessible to people, budget for a separate enclosure rated for that environment.
5) Can I use a two-pole contactor like the CE15BN2AB on a three-phase motor?
No. The CE15BN2AB is two-pole, which suits single-phase 120/240 V loads and two-wire switching. A three-phase motor needs all three line conductors switched together, so you want a three-pole contactor instead. Using a two-pole on three-phase leaves one leg energized and can single-phase the motor.
6) Can the Eaton CE15BN2AB be used to reverse a motor?
No, it is a non-reversing contactor. Reversing requires two mechanically and electrically interlocked contactors or a factory reversing assembly. Ordering one CE15BN2AB gives you a single direction of rotation only.
7) Will the CE15BN2AB work on 50 Hz power overseas?
Yes. The frequency rating covers 50-60 Hz and the coil is listed for 110/120 VAC at 50/60 Hz, so it operates on either supply frequency without a change of part.
