B-Line ECX09B5CBA-H Eaton XT IEC Line Non-Metallic Enclosed Control

The enclosure on the ECX09B5CBA-H is a NEMA Type 4X non-metallic housing, so it handles outdoor exposure, hosedown, and corrosive environments like food processing, car washes, and wastewater sites. The non-metallic shell is the reason it holds up where a painted steel enclosure would rust at the seams.

This Eaton XT enclosed starter comes with a 480 VAC, 60 Hz coil, so your control circuit has to supply 480 volts AC. If your panel runs a 120 V or 24 V control circuit, you need a different coil voltage version or a control transformer ahead of it. The XT line is offered with AC control from 12 V to 600 V at 50/60 Hz, so the voltage you specify at order time is what you get.

No. The ECX09B5CBA-H is a non-reversing starter, so it starts and stops the motor in one direction only. For a conveyor, hoist, or damper drive that has to run forward and reverse, you need a reversing starter instead.

It does not. This is a non-combination starter, meaning the contactor and overload are in the enclosure but there is no disconnect switch or breaker built in. You have to provide branch circuit protection and a means of disconnect upstream. If you want the disconnect in the same box, specify a combination unit instead.

The unit is rated 7A, so size it against the full load amps on your motor nameplate rather than horsepower alone. A motor drawing more than 7 amps continuous needs the next frame size up in the XT line.

Plan on an 11.25 x 8.75 x 8 inch footprint for the enclosed control, and it weighs 3.45 lb, so it mounts to a wall, strut, or machine frame without needing a heavy support. Leave room around it for conduit entry and for the cover to swing.

Yes. The XT line carries built in normally open or normally closed auxiliary contacts up to 32A, so you can pick up a run indication for a pilot light, a PLC input, or an interlock without adding a separate relay.

It is from Eaton's XT IEC line, so it is sized by IEC conventions (utilization category and amp rating) rather than by NEMA starter size. That matters when you are replacing an older NEMA Size 0 or 1 starter: match on motor full load amps, not on the NEMA size number.

Both are offered across the XT IEC line. Screw terminals are what most maintenance crews are set up for; spring cage holds better under vibration and speeds up field wiring. Confirm which termination your shop standardizes on before you order, since it is set by the model you pick.
