B-LINE A201KABA – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the A201KABA contactor work with a 120V control circuit?
Yes. The A201KABA coil is rated 120V/60 Hz, and 110V at 50 Hz. So a standard 120V control transformer secondary or a 120V control circuit from a starter panel will pull it in. If your control voltage is 24V, 208V, 240V or 480V, this is the wrong coil code and you need a different catalog number in the Freedom line.
2) Is a two-pole 9 amp contactor enough for a single-phase motor load?
The A201KABA is a two-pole device rated 9A, so it switches two current-carrying conductors. That suits single-phase motor and resistive loads within 9 amps. A three-phase motor needs a three-pole contactor instead, since you have to break all three legs. Size the load to the 9A rating before committing.
3) Can the A201KABA be used to reverse a motor?
No. It is a non-reversing, front connected contactor, so it handles start/stop of a motor in one direction only. Reversing requires a mechanically and electrically interlocked reversing pair, which is a different configuration in the Freedom NEMA line.
4) How much panel space does the A201KABA Freedom contactor take up?
Plan for 4.38 in height, 3.31 in width, and 4.61 in length/depth. That depth figure matters most on a shallow enclosure or a crowded backpan, since the front connected terminals mean your wiring lands on the face of the device and needs bending room in front of it. Unit weight is 2.8 lb.
5) Is the A201KABA a contactor or a motor starter?
It is a contactor, not a complete starter. It switches the load but carries no overload relay, so it does not by itself provide motor running overload protection. If the application needs overload protection, you either add an overload block to build a starter or use a separate overload device in the circuit.
6) What exact part number do I order to match an existing Freedom contactor in my panel?
Order by the manufacturer part number A201KABA. Matching that number gets you the same two-pole, 9A, front connected non-reversing build with the 120V/60 Hz coil, which is what keeps a fleet of panels standardized. The coil voltage and pole count are baked into the catalog number, so a different suffix is a different device.
7) Does front connected mean I can wire the A201KABA without pulling it off the backplate?
Yes, that is the point of a front connected design. Line and load terminals are accessed from the face of the device, so terminations and future troubleshooting happen without removing the contactor from its mounting. Back connected versions route conductors behind the panel and are a different ordering option.
