Eaton XTCE018C10E Magnetic Contactor
This Eaton XTCE018C10E is a three-pole IEC magnetic contactor rated for 208V AC coil voltage and 18 A inductive full-load current. It suits industrial control panels that switch motor loads up to 5 hp at 240V AC three-phase. The unit mounts on DIN rail or panel and uses screw terminals for wiring. It is not intended for reversing applications or for loads exceeding its 40 A resistive rating.
Sustained load behaviour
Under continuous operation the contactor handles 18 A inductive and 40 A resistive current within its frame size C dimensions of 3.9 in height and 1.85 in width. The coil draws power at 208V AC without a reversing mechanism, so heat dissipation relies on the open enclosure design. Installers should verify ventilation when the device runs at full inductive rating for extended periods.
Installation notes
Mounting options include standard DIN rail or direct panel fixing using the integral screw terminals for power and auxiliary connections. The single 1NO auxiliary contact provides status feedback without additional modules. A common error is assuming reversing capability; this model is non-reversing and lacks the required auxiliary interlock. Ensure the control circuit matches the 208V AC coil specification before energising.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the 18 A contactor produce when it runs continuously?
The coil draws 208 V AC and the unit is rated for 18 A inductive or 40 A resistive load; power dissipation depends on the actual current and duty cycle in your circuit.
What auxiliary circuit must already exist for the 1 NO contact to function?
The built-in 1 NO auxiliary contact needs a separate low-voltage control circuit to monitor or interlock with the main 3-pole power path.
Will the 208 V AC coil work with my existing 240 V AC control panel?
The coil is rated for 208 V AC only; applying 240 V AC exceeds its voltage rating and can cause overheating or failure.
