Eaton AN59GN0A5E045 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will an Eaton Freedom Size 2 reversing starter fit in my panel, and what are its dimensions?
The Freedom Size 2 reversing starter, model AN59GN0A5E045, measures 6.7 in wide, 4.98 in deep and 7.1 in high. It is built for horizontal mounting, so lay out your backpan with that orientation in mind. Because it is an Open type unit with no enclosure, it has to go inside a panel or enclosure you provide.
2) Do I need a separate enclosure for the Eaton AN59GN0A5E045 motor starter?
Yes. This is an Open type starter, meaning the contactors and overload relay are mounted on an open frame with no cover or box. It is intended to be installed inside a control panel or enclosure, which is how OEM panel builders normally buy it. If you need a standalone starter for a wall in a wet or dusty area, you want an enclosed NEMA-rated version instead, not this one.
3) What size motor will a NEMA Size 2 reversing starter handle?
NEMA Size 2 is the medium-horsepower step in the NEMA frame progression, and this Freedom unit is rated 45A continuous. Horsepower depends on your supply voltage and phase, so size the motor by its full load amps against the 45A rating and set the C440 overload to the motor FLA. If your motor nameplate amps run above 45A, you need the next NEMA size up.
4) What overload protection comes with the Eaton Freedom Size 2 reversing starter, and is it adjustable?
It ships with Eaton's C440 electronic overload relay (EOLR) in the standard feature set, with SEL reset and selectable trip classes of 10a, 10, 20 and 30. That means you set the trip class to match the load, class 10 for a general pump or fan, class 20 or 30 for high-inertia loads like large conveyors or fans that take longer to come up to speed. No separate heater packs to order.
5) Should I use a reversing starter or two separate contactors for a forward/reverse motor circuit?
A reversing starter does the job in one assembly. The AN59GN0A5E045 is a NEMA reversing configuration, so the forward and reverse contactors come pre-assembled with a shared overload relay, which saves panel space and the wiring work of interlocking two separate starters yourself. If the motor only ever runs one direction, buy a non-reversing Size 2 starter instead and don't pay for the second contactor.
6) Is the Eaton AN59GN0A5E045 starter UL listed for a commercial inspection?
Yes, the Freedom Size 2 reversing starter is UL Listed, and it is also RoHS compliant. That covers the usual electrical inspection and procurement requirements on commercial and industrial panel work.
7) Is an open reversing starter like this a good fit for a conveyor or pump control panel?
That's exactly what it's built for. Reversing pump, fan and conveyor circuits are the typical use, along with OEM control panel building. The open construction and the 6.7 x 4.98 x 7.1 inch footprint let it sit on a backpan alongside the disconnect and control transformer, and the C440's selectable trip classes let you tune the overload to a conveyor's longer acceleration.
