Eaton Cutler-Hammer AN16BN0TC Starter

The Eaton Cutler-Hammer AN16BN0TC Starter is a heavy-duty NEMA Size 0 motor starter from the reliable Freedom Series, engineered for across-the-line starting of single or three-phase motors. Rated for 18 continuous amps, this 3-pole non-reversing magnetic starter features a 24Vac 50/60Hz coil, making it an ideal choice for low-voltage control circuits in HVACR and industrial applications. The AN16BN0TC utilizes an open-type enclosure and includes a C306 bimetallic overload relay that provides ambient-compensated protection to prevent motor burnout under varying temperature conditions. Designed with three-terminal contactor coils for flexible top or diagonal wiring, it allows for seamless replacement of older U.S. or European-style starters. This unit comes standard with one normally open (NO) auxiliary contact for status feedback. Please note that interchangeable heater packs are required for operation and must be sized according to your motor's full-load amps (FLA) to ensure accurate trip calibration.

Key Benefits

• Phase Versatility: Supports both single and three-phase motor configurations up to 5 HP at 480/600V.
• Precision Protection: The ambient compensated overload relay ensures consistent trip performance even in mechanical rooms with fluctuating temperatures.
• Serviceability: Features a dual-frequency 24V coil with a two-piece spring latch design for rapid field replacement without disconnecting power wiring.
• Compact Integration: The space-saving Freedom Series footprint allows for high-density mounting in control panels.
• Manual/Auto Reset: Selectable reset modes on the relay provide flexibility for automated systems or manual troubleshooting protocols.

Common Questions

Does the AN16BN0TC include heater packs?
No, heater packs are sold separately. You must select the appropriate H20xxB heater pack based on the motor's nameplate FLA and service factor to enable the overload protection function.

Can I add additional auxiliary contacts to this starter?
Yes. While it comes with one NO auxiliary contact mounted on the right side, the AN16BN0TC is compatible with snap-on top-mounted or side-mounted auxiliary contact blocks for additional signaling needs.

What is the maximum horsepower rating for this Size 0 starter?
It is rated for 1 HP at 115V, 2 HP at 230V, 3 HP at 208/240V, and 5 HP at 480/600V, provided the continuous current does not exceed 18 amps.
