Eaton C25BNB230A Definite Purpose Magnetic Contactor 120V AC 2P

SKU CH-TK21-JFPXC

A definite-purpose magnetic contactor that switches up to 30 A inductive or 40 A resistive loads at 120 V AC with a 50/60 Hz coil

  • Controls motor loads up to 30 A inductive
  • Handles heating loads up to 40 A resistive
  • Operates on 120 V AC coil voltage
  • Rated for 50/60 Hz power systems
  • Non-reversing action for constant current direction

Definite Purpose Magnetic Contactor

The Eaton C25BNB230A is a definite purpose magnetic contactor designed for controlling power flow in heavy-duty industrial applications. It operates as a non-reversing device, maintaining constant current direction for machinery automation. The unit is commonly used across HVAC, data processing, and manufacturing sectors to manage electrical circuits.

120V AC Coil Voltage Limits

This contactor requires a specific 120V AC coil voltage for effective engagement and disengagement of the electrical circuit. It is rated for operation within a 50/60 Hz frequency range, which determines compatibility with specific power systems. The device handles up to 30 A for inductive loads and 40 A for resistive loads, with overheating risk if these limits are exceeded.

Two-Pole Installation and Wiring

Installation involves wiring the two-pole configuration to match the 120V AC coil requirement and the intended load circuit. Correct phasing is essential for the non-reversing action to function as designed. Common issues include exceeding the 30 A inductive or 40 A resistive ratings, which can lead to overheating or contact damage.

Questions about this item

How do I choose between the inductive and resistive ratings for my load?

Use the 30 A inductive rating for motors or transformers and the 40 A resistive rating for heating elements; select the rating that matches your load type.

What does the 30 A inductive rating mean when the contactor is installed in a panel?

It means the contactor can continuously switch motor or transformer loads up to 30 A without overheating when mounted according to the manufacturer instructions.

How does the 120 V AC coil voltage limit the control circuit I can use?

The coil requires a 120 V AC supply at 50 or 60 Hz; any control circuit must provide exactly that voltage and frequency for reliable operation.
