Product Description
Non-reversing
Contactors are most commonly used
to switch motor loads in applications
where running over current protection
is either not required or is provided
separately. Contactors consist of a
magnetically actuated switch which
can be remotely operated by a pushbutton station or pilot device such as a
proximity switch, limit switch, float
switch, auxiliary contacts, etc.
Reversing
Reversing contactors are used primarily for reversing single- or three-phase
motors in applications where running
over current protection is either not
required or is provided separately.
They consist of two contactors mechanically and electrically interlocked to
prevent line shorts and energization of
both contactors simultaneously.
Features
■ EN60947-4-1 IEC 947-4-1 Compli-
ance — new International Standard
for low voltage switchgear and control devices.
■ Long life twin break, silver cadmium
oxide contacts — provide excellent
conductivity and superior resistance
to welding and arc erosion.
■ Designed to 2,000,000 electrical and
20,000,000 mechanical operations at
maximum hp ratings through 20 hp
at 460V. Adequate for most general
duty control applications.
Non-reversing
■ UL listed and CSA certified.
■ Highest horsepower rating in a com-
pact, space-saving design, 45 mm
frame rated maximum 20 hp at 460V,
65 mm frame rated maximum 50 hp,
90 mm frame rated 100 hp, 180 mm
frame rated 200 hp, 220 mm frame
rated 350 hp, 280 mm frame rated
600 hp, and 334 mm frame rated
900 hp.
■ 45 mm open contactors, Sizes A – F,
have DIN rail or universal base
mounting, 65 mm open contactors
have molded feet for panel mounting, and 90 mm to 334 mm have
steel mounting plates (optional on
smaller sizes).
■ DIN rail release mechanism conve-
niently located on line side of
contactor.
■ IP20 finger protection shields
available.
■ Contactor and terminal markings
conform to CENELEC EN50011.
■ Holding circuit contact(s) supplied
as standard:
❑ Sizes A – N have a NO auxiliary
contact block mounted on right
hand side (on Sizes A – C, contact
occupies 4th power pole position
— no increase in width).
❑ Sizes P – S have a NO-NC contact
block mounted on the left hand side.
❑ Sizes T – Z have a 2NO-2NC con-
tact block mounted on the top left
between arc chutes.
■ Lugs supplied standard on Sizes
A – S. On Sizes T – Z, lugs must be
ordered separately.
Reversing
■ Highest horsepower rating in a com-
pact, space-saving design, 45 mm
frame rated maximum 20 hp, 65 mm
frame rated maximum 50 hp and
90 mm frame rated maximum 75 hp
at 460V. If larger devices are
required, order components.
■ 45 mm open type reversing contac-
tors, Sizes A – F, have DIN rail or
panel mounting capability. DIN rail
release mechanism conveniently
located on line side of contactor. A
steel mounting plate is optional.
■ 65 mm reversing contactors, Sizes
G – K and 90 mm Sizes L – N are
supplied with steel mounting plate
as standard.
■ Sizes A – K have a wired NC top
mounted electrical interlock on each
contactor. Sizes L – N have one NONC side mounted electrical interlock on each contactor.

3-Pole Contactors
When Ordering Specify
■ Select required contactor by Catalog
Number and replace the magnet coil
alpha designation in the Catalog
Number (_) with the proper Code
Suffix from Tables 34-369 and 34-
371, on Page 34-299.
■ For Sizes A – K, the magnet coil
alpha designation is the second-tolast digit of the Catalog Number.
Example: for a 240V/60 Hz coil, order
CE15ANS3BB.

IEC Sizes A – N are supplied with a NO auxiliary contact. On IEC Sizes A – C, the 4th power pole position is used as the auxiliary contact and adds no
additional width. Open type Sizes A – K can be ordered with a top mounted auxiliary contact instead of a side mounted contact. To order, change the
7th digit of the listed Catalog Number from “S” to “T”. Example: CE15ANT3AB. On open type Sizes A – K, if the NO auxiliary contact is not required,
drop the “S” from the listed Catalog Number.
Auxiliary contacts: Sizes P – S have 1NO-1NC, Sizes T – X have 2NO-2NC, Size Z has 2NO-1NC. Sizes T – Z are supplied without lugs — order
appropriate lug kits from Table 34-370 on Page 34-299.
Sizes A – K IEC contactors do not include holding circuit contacts. For factory installed NO auxiliary contacts, insert “S” (side mounted) or “T” (top
mounted) after 6th digit of listed Catalog Number. Example: Change CE55AN3AB to CE55ANS3AB. For “T”, top mounted NC contact blocks are
replaced with NO-NC blocks — for “S”, they are replaced with NO-NC side mounted blocks.
