B-LINE A201K0EA – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What coil voltage does the Eaton Freedom A201K0EA contactor take?
The A201K0EA coil is wound for 120V at 60 Hz, or 110V at 50 Hz. That means a standard single-phase 120V control circuit drives it directly, so if your control transformer secondary is 24V or 240V, this is the wrong coil and you need a different coil suffix.
2) How many poles does the A201K0EA Freedom contactor have, and can I use it on a three-phase motor?
It is a two-pole device, so it switches two conductors. That suits single-phase motor loads, lighting and heating circuits. Switching all three legs of a three-phase motor needs a three-pole contactor instead.
3) What current rating is the Eaton Freedom A201K0EA contactor good for?
Rated 18A. Size your motor or load so the full load amps sit within that, and keep overload protection separate since this is a contactor, not a combination starter.
4) Will the A201K0EA fit in my existing control enclosure?
Plan for 4.38 in high, 3.31 in wide and 4.61 in deep, and 2.8 lb of weight on the panel. It is front connected, so the line and load terminals face you once the door is open, which means you need wrenching clearance in front of the device rather than behind it.
5) Can the A201K0EA be used to reverse a motor?
No. It is a non-reversing contactor, a single power block with one set of contacts. Reversing requires a pair of mechanically and electrically interlocked contactors, or a factory reversing assembly.
6) Is this Eaton Freedom contactor UL Listed for use in a commercial control panel?
The A201K0EA carries a UL Listing, which is what most facility and institutional electrical inspections look for on control components. No other agency mark is claimed for it.
7) Is a contactor like the A201K0EA enough on its own, or do I still need a starter?
A contactor only makes and breaks the load; it has no overload relay. For motor branch circuits that need running overload protection, either add an overload block to build a starter or specify a full motor starter. For non-motor switching such as heaters, resistive loads or lighting contactor duty, the 18A two-pole contactor alone does the job.
8) What exact part number should I order for this Eaton Freedom NEMA contactor?
Order Eaton part A201K0EA. It is the front connected, non-reversing two-pole Freedom NEMA contactor with a 120V 60 Hz / 110V 50 Hz coil, rated 18A.
