B-LINE CN15BN2W1B – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What coil voltage does the Eaton Freedom CN15BN2W1B contactor use?
The CN15BN2W1B is built with a 48V, 60 Hz coil. That is the control voltage your pilot devices and control transformer have to supply. If your control circuit runs 120V or 24V, this is the wrong catalog number, because the coil is not field-interchangeable across voltages on the order code.
2) Can I use the CN15BN2W1B contactor to reverse a motor?
No. The CN15BN2W1B is a non-reversing contactor, so it makes and breaks the motor circuit in one direction only. For forward and reverse you need a reversing arrangement, which is two mechanically and electrically interlocked contactors, not this single unit.
3) How many poles does the Eaton Freedom CN15BN2W1B contactor have, and will it switch a three-phase motor?
It is a two-pole contactor. Two poles switch single-phase loads or two legs of a circuit. A standard three-phase motor needs all three legs switched, so a three-pole contactor is the right choice there, not this one.
4) What current is the CN15BN2W1B contactor rated for?
18 amps. Size your load to stay at or under that continuous rating, and remember the contactor itself provides switching only, so overload relay protection is a separate item you add to the starter assembly.
5) Will the CN15BN2W1B contactor fit in a tight panel or enclosure?
Compact. The Freedom CN15BN2W1B measures 3.88 in height, 3.49 in length/depth and 1.75 in width, and weighs 1.7 lb. The 1.75 inch width is the number that matters most when you are packing several devices onto one DIN rail or subpanel run.
6) What is the exact part number to order this Eaton Freedom contactor by?
Order by manufacturer part number CN15BN2W1B. The number encodes a two-pole, non-reversing Freedom NEMA contactor with a 48V 60 Hz coil rated 18A, so an adjacent number in the CN15 family will likely differ on pole count or coil voltage.
7) Is there a spec sheet available for the CN15BN2W1B contactor?
Yes, Eaton publishes a spec sheet for the CN15BN2W1B, and it is linked directly from the product information for wiring detail, terminal data and accessory options.
