B-LINE CE55EN3AB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many amps and horsepower can the CE55EN3AB Freedom contactor handle?
It's a 25A, three-pole E-frame contactor with a maximum 2 hp motor rating. For anything larger than 2 hp you need to step up to a bigger frame in the Freedom line.
2) Does the Eaton CE55EN3AB include an overload relay for motor protection?
No. The CE55EN3AB ships as a bare contactor with no overload relay, so it is not a complete motor starter. If the motor needs running overload protection, you add a matching E-frame overload relay separately or protect the circuit another way.
3) Is the CE55EN3AB contactor supplied in an enclosure?
It comes open, with no enclosure. Plan on mounting it inside a control panel or a separately purchased enclosure rated for the environment, since the device itself offers no ingress protection.
4) Can the Freedom CE55EN3AB be used for a reversing motor starter?
Yes, it's configured for reversing operation, which is how you get forward and reverse control on a three-phase motor up to 2 hp. Reversing schemes use a pair of contactors mechanically and electrically interlocked, so order accordingly for the full assembly.
5) What auxiliary contact does the CE55EN3AB come with?
It carries a 1NC auxiliary contact, mounted on top of the contactor. That normally closed contact is what you'd typically use for interlocking the opposite direction in a reversing setup. If your control scheme needs a normally open aux for a seal-in circuit, you'll need a different aux arrangement.
6) How much panel space does the CE55EN3AB contactor take up?
Figure 4.2 inches wide, 3.28 inches long, and 2.96 inches high, at 2.25 lb. Leave extra clearance above it, since the auxiliary contact block sits on top of the contactor.
7) Is the CE55EN3AB an IEC contactor or a NEMA-rated one?
It's an IEC-style device from Eaton's Freedom series, sized by amperage and frame rather than NEMA starter size. IEC parts run physically smaller for the same load, which matters when you're fitting several starters into an existing panel, but they are selected against the actual motor current rather than a NEMA size class.
8) What is the exact part number to order this Eaton Freedom contactor?
Order it as CE55EN3AB, the Eaton Freedom series E-frame IEC contactor, 25A, three-pole, 110/120 VAC coil, reversing, with a 1NC top-mounted auxiliary.
