Eaton CN15BN2AB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What amperage ratings do the Eaton CN15 Freedom contactors come in?
Two current ratings: 9 amperes on the CN15A models and 18 amperes on the CN15B models. Pick based on the full load amps of the motor you are switching, not the breaker size ahead of it.
2) Do I need a two-pole or three-pole Eaton CN15 contactor?
Both poles counts are offered. Three-pole is the normal choice for switching a three-phase motor, where each leg needs its own contact. Two-pole suits single-phase loads where you are breaking both ungrounded conductors. The CN15 family covers single-phase and three-phase applications, so match the pole count to the number of conductors you actually have to open.
3) Can I use an Eaton CN15 contactor to reverse a motor?
No. The CN15 is a non-reversing contactor, so it does start/stop duty only. Reversing a three-phase motor takes two contactors mechanically and electrically interlocked, or a factory reversing assembly. Use this one for pumps, fans, compressors, and any load that runs one direction.
4) Is a contactor alone enough to protect my motor, or do I need a starter?
A contactor switches the motor on and off; it does not provide overload protection. If the circuit needs running overload protection per code, you add an overload relay to the contactor (that combination is what makes it a motor starter) or specify a starter instead. The Freedom CN15 is the switching half of that pair.
5) Will an Eaton Freedom Size 0 contactor fit in a tight control panel?
Footprint is 1.75 in wide by 3.49 in deep by 3.88 in high, which is a NEMA Size 0 frame. That 1.75 in width is the number to check when you are lining up several starters on a DIN rail or back panel and counting available inches.
6) Which Eaton Freedom part number is the 18 amp three-pole contactor?
CN15BN3AB is the 18 ampere three-pole Freedom contactor. The 18 amp two-pole is CN15BN2AB. On the 9 ampere side the part numbers are CN15AN2AB, CN15AN3AB, and CN15AN3BB.
7) Where are Eaton Freedom Size 0 contactors typically used?
Motor control centers and control panels, pump, fan and compressor starting circuits, OEM machine builds, and retrofits of existing motor control gear. Panel builders standardizing on the Freedom platform use the Size 0 frame as the small-motor building block.
