Industrial motor control
The GE CR305C002 is a NEMA Size 1 magnetic contactor built for three-phase motor circuits up to 27 A inductive load. It suits maintenance teams and panel builders who need a compact, non-reversing switch for pumps, compressors or conveyors. The 120 V AC coil allows direct connection to standard control transformers. A single normally-open auxiliary contact provides status feedback to a PLC or indicator light.
Cooling and power draw
The open-frame design relies on natural convection inside the enclosure, so no fan noise is generated during operation. Coil power consumption is limited to the 120 V AC control circuit, while the main poles carry up to 27 A continuously. The contactor is rated for 7-1/2 hp at 240 V AC and 10 hp at both 480 V AC and 600 V AC three-phase supplies.
Mounting and wiring space
Overall dimensions are 3.94 in high by 3.06 in wide, leaving room for dense DIN-rail or back-panel layouts. Screw terminals accept ring or fork lugs for secure power and control connections. The non-reversing configuration simplifies wiring for single-direction motors, while the 1NO auxiliary frees a PLC input for run verification without extra relays.

Questions about this item
How do I wire the 120V AC coil and the three power poles on this NEMA Size 1 contactor?
Connect the 120V AC control supply to the coil terminals and the three-phase load to the three main poles rated for 27 A inductive current.
Which parts will need replacement after extended operation?
The coil and the main contact tips are the wear items; the single 1NO auxiliary contact may also require attention over time.
What thermal limit appears first when the contactor runs continuously at full load?
The 27 A inductive rating at the stated coil voltage is the primary sustained-use boundary for this NEMA Size 1 device.
