Product Description
Freedom Series starters and contactors
feature a compact, space-saving design,
using state-of-the-art technology and
the latest in high strength, impact and
temperature resistant insulating
materials.
■ Straight-through wiring — line lugs
at top, load lugs at bottom.
■ Horizontal or vertical mounting
on upright panel for application
freedom.
■ Screw type power terminals have
captive, backed-out self-lifting pressure plates with ± screws — reduced
wiring time.
■ Accessible terminals for easy wir-
ing. Optional fingerproof shields
available to prevent electrical shock.
■ Top located coil terminals conve-
nient and readily accessible. 45 mm
contactor magnet coils have three
terminals, permitting either top or
diagonal wiring — easy to replace
European or U.S. style starters
or contactors without changing
wiring layout.
■ Encapsulated dual voltage/
frequency magnet coils —
permanently marked with voltage,
frequency and part number. NEMA
Sizes 00 – 0 have non-encapsulated
coils as standard.
■ Designed to meet or exceed NEMA,
UL, CSA, VDE, BS and other international standards and listings.
■ American engineering — built by
Eaton, using the latest in statistical
process control methods to produce
high quality, reliable products.
■ Sized based on standard NEMA
classifications.
■ Easy coil change and inspectable/
replaceable contacts.
■ Available in Open and NEMA Type
1, 3R, 4/4X and 12 enclosures.
Standards and Certifications
■ Standard: Designed to meet or
exceed UL, NEMA, IEC, CSA, VDE
and BS.
■ UL listed: UL File #E1491, Guide
#NLDX — Open and NEMA 1, 4, 12

ISO 9000 Certification
When you turn to Eaton’s CutlerHammer Products, you turn to quality.
The International Standards Organization (ISO) has established a series of
standards acknowledged by 91 industrialized nations to bring harmony to
the international quest for quality. The
ISO certification process covers 20
quality system elements in design,
production and installation that must
conform to achieve registration. This
commitment to quality will result in
increased product reliability and total
customer satisfaction.
Short Circuit Protection
Fuses and Inverse-Time Circuit Breakers
may be selected per Article 430, Part D
of the National Electrical Code to protect motor branch circuits from fault
conditions. If higher ratings or settings
are required to start the motor, do not
exceed the maximum as listed in
Exception No. 2, Article 430-52.
Features
Freedom NEMA
■ Adjustable Bimetallic Ambient
Compensated Overload relays with
interchangeable heater packs —
available in three basic sizes,
covering applications up to 900 hp
— reducing the number of different
contactor/overload relay combinations that have to be stocked. Fixed
heater overloads are optional.
■ Electronic Solid-State Overload
Relay (C396) available as a standalone unit and assembled with
Freedom Contactor.
■ A full line of snap-on accessories
common to both IEC and NEMA
devices — top and side mounted
auxiliary contacts, solid-state and
pneumatic timers, etc.

NEMA Size 1 — Cat. No. CN15DN3AB
Product Description
Non-reversing
Contactors are most commonly used
to switch motor loads in applications
where running overcurrent 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.
NEMA Size 1
Cat. No. CN55DN3AB
Reversing
Reversing contactors are used primarily for reversing single- or three-phase
motors in applications where running
overcurrent 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
■ Designed specifically for use in
applications requiring NEMA ratings. Contactors meet or exceed
NEMA standards ICS 2-1993.
■ Long life twin break, silver cadmium
oxide contacts — provide excellent
conductivity and superior resistance
to welding and arc erosion.
■ Designed to 3,000,000 electrical
operations at maximum hp ratings
up through 25 hp at 600V.
■ Steel mounting plate standard on all
open type contactors.
Non-reversing
■ Holding circuit contact(s) supplied
as standard:
❑ Sizes 00 – 3 have NO auxiliary
contact block mounted on right
hand side (on Size 00, contact
occupies 4th power pole position
— no increase in width).
❑ Sizes 4 – 5 have a NO contact
block mounted on left side.
❑ Sizes 6 – 7 have a 2NO/2NC
contact block on top left.
❑ Size 8 has a NO/NC contact block
on top left back and a NO contact
block on top right back.
Reversing
■ One NO-NC side mounted interlock
supplied as standard on each contactor for Sizes 00 – 8.
