Improving equipment s afety

Better termination

• Top/bottom dual chamber terminals provide a more secure

termination for wires of differing size, minimizing the chance that

a wire could become loose

• Applies to contactors up to 500A and manual motor protectors

(MMPs)/combination style controllers up to 65A

Removable electrical bridge

• Removing electrical bridge ensures starter is off-line

during servicing

• Applies to combination style starters up to 15A

Finger-safe and back-of-hand proof

• Requires no additional shield accessories

• Applies to contactors up to 150A and MMPs up to 65A

Improving equipment performance

Electronic DC coils

• Larger pick-up voltage tolerance and operation range

• Consistent switch-on and switch-off

• Voltage dip ride-through

• Surge suppression included 

Better motor performance and

protection

• Phase loss and phase imbalance protection conserve motor life

and ensure optimum motor performance

Excellent quality performance

• XT has best in class warranty PPM (parts per million) when

compared with similar electrical manufacturers

Improving equipment

usability

Slideable DIN rail adapter

• Allows for easy component replacement without removal

of adjacent components and terminations

• Allows for last minute changes and design flexibility

Visible coil power indication

• Enables easy troubleshooting and testing of contactor operation

• Applies to contactors and combination style starters up to 150A

Overload selectability

• 5:1 ratio current adjustment range, selectable trip class

(5. 10. 20. 30) and selectable reset style as standard, allowing

for greater flexibility using less part numbers

Lowering material costs Small contactors

• Smallest 10 hp contactor on the market

• All XT DC controlled contactors have the same depth as AC

controlled XT contactors

• Reduced panel space can help decrease enclosure size and

costs

Side-by-side mounting

• Low coil consumption allows for side-by-side mounting

• Reversing contactors require no additional width for the

mechanical interlock

• Reduced panel space can help decrease enclosure size and

costs

Combination style starters

• Replaces traditional breaker/fuse block with contactor and overload

• Reduced panel space can help decrease enclosure size and

costs

Electronic coils

• Efficient coil design—185A to 2000A

• XT contactors have low coil consumption, translating to

smaller, less expensive CPTs and power supplies

• Unique control scheme allows for direct control from a PLC or low

consumption command device 

• Can eliminate the need for a large CPT and interposing

relay leading to a reduction in component costs, and smaller

enclosure size and costs

Eaton’s comprehensive line of XT IEC power controls

The XT Line of IEC Power Control, consisting of contactors, overload relays,

mini controls, manual motor protectors and combination style starters,

is one of the world’s newest and most complete IEC Power Control product

lines on the market. The XT applies new technology and design to help

OEMs address five basic needs:

Improving production

Toolless assembly

• Requires no tools to assemble

• Applies to B-Frame (10 hp,15A) reversing and star-delta

contactors, combination stylestarters and surge suppressor

accessories

Combination style starters

• One unit replaces traditional breaker/fuse block with contactor

and overload, saving installation time and effort

Coil terminations

• Easily accessible coilterminations in the front of the

contactor make installation, testing, and replacement much

easier and safer

Power XpertE C445 is the most intelligent option in the

C400 motor protection family. C445 offers industry

leading protection, diagnostics and energy usage

analytics. Multiple network options and easy integration

tools make leveraging C445 intelligence easy.

Benefits

• Reliability

• Advanced diagnostics allow for quick and accurate

identification of the root cause of a fault in line,

load and motor conditions

• Voltage loss restart functionality allows for

automatic recovery in the event of undervoltage

conditions without the need for user intervention

• Pre-programmed operation modes support fast, easy,

error-free installation for the majority of applications

• Flexibility

• Modular pass-through design with scalable options for current,

voltage, power, energy protections and monitoring

• Fully programmable trip and alarm thresholds and time delays

Eaton’s Freedom 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. In addition to the bimetallic overload,

Eaton also offers a series of electronic overload relay (C440) available as a

standalone unit and assembled with Freedom contactor. These adjustable bimetallic

ambient compensated contactors are designed for use with CE or CN non-reversing

and reversing contactors. They have interchangeable heater packs and are available

in four sizes for overload protection up to 900 hp, reducing the number of different

contactor/overload relay combinations that have to be stocked.

They also feature a full line of snap-on accessories common to both IEC and NEMA devices.

Freedom series (NEMA)

Eaton’s Freedom NEMA AN19 starter series combines exceptional Freedom contactor ratings

with the C440 electronic overload’s superior motor protection features.

AN19 starters can be monitored in real-time over communications, allowing for reduced

troubleshooting efforts and downtime.
