Definite Purpose Contactor for LED Lighting
The Eaton C25DGD315B is a 3-pole definite purpose contactor designed for switching LED lighting loads. It operates on a 208-240V AC coil voltage and features a non-reversing configuration. This device suits electrical contractors and panel builders managing lighting circuits in commercial or industrial installations. It is not for applications requiring reversing motor control or tungsten and fluorescent lighting ratings.
Coil Voltage and Pole Configuration
The contactor uses a 208-240V AC coil to control three power poles, matching standard single-phase and three-phase lighting supply voltages. The coil voltage range determines compatibility with the control circuit, while the three poles switch the connected load. Selecting this part requires matching both the control voltage and the number of poles to the circuit design.
Sustained Load Current Ratings
Under continuous operation, the contactor carries a full load resistive current of 20 A and a full load inductive current of 15 A. The maximum voltage rating for the power contacts is 690V AC. These ratings define the thermal limits for sustained duty rather than momentary inrush capability. The unit is housed in a NEMA Type 1 enclosure and uses a Frame Size D chassis.

Questions about this item
What does the 20 A resistive rating mean when the contactor is controlling a heating load in a real machine?
It means the contactor can switch a purely resistive load up to 20 amperes at the rated voltage without exceeding its thermal limits.
How does the 208-240V AC coil voltage and 690V AC maximum rating cap what circuits this contactor can switch?
The coil requires 208 to 240 volts AC to operate, while the power contacts are rated for circuits up to 690 volts AC maximum.
What does the NEMA 1 enclosure rating and frame size D tell me about what is needed to mount this contactor?
NEMA 1 means it is for indoor use only and must be installed inside a suitable electrical enclosure; frame size D defines the physical mounting footprint.
