Eaton CN15BN3AB-T16 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Eaton Freedom CN15BN3AB-T16 contactor come with an overload relay?
No. The CN15BN3AB-T16 is a contactor only, with no overload relay included. If your motor circuit needs overload protection, you order the overload relay separately. The unit is set up for a T16 full amperes adjustment overload pairing, so match the relay to that when you spec it.
2) Will the Eaton Freedom 18A contactor fit in my existing control enclosure?
It measures 1.75 in wide, 3.49 in deep and 3.88 in high, and it is an open-design contactor, meaning it has no housing of its own and must be mounted inside an enclosure or panel. Eaton lists it as compatible with NEMA 0, NEMA 1 and NEMA 2 enclosures. Allow wiring bend space above and below beyond the 3.88 in height.
3) Will an 18A three-pole contactor handle my three-phase motor?
The Freedom CN15BN3AB-T16 is a three-pole contactor with an 18 A continuous ampere rating, so it switches all three legs of a three-phase circuit as long as the motor's full load current stays within that 18 A continuous rating. Size it against the motor nameplate FLA, not the horsepower alone. It is a non-reversing unit, so single direction only.
4) Can I use this Eaton contactor to reverse a motor?
No. This is a non-reversing contactor. Reversing a three-phase motor requires two contactors mechanically and electrically interlocked, or a factory reversing starter. Using a single non-reversing unit will only run the motor in one direction.
5) What kind of wire terminations does this Freedom contactor use?
Ring lug terminals. You crimp ring terminals onto the conductors and land them under the screws, which holds up better than box lugs where there is vibration, such as on machinery or rooftop equipment. Plan on ring terminals sized to your conductor for the install, since they are not supplied with the contactor.
6) Is this Eaton motor contactor UL Listed for a commercial panel build?
Yes, it is UL Listed under file E1491. For an institutional or municipal job where the inspector wants listed components in the motor control panel, that file number is what you cite on the submittal.
