Eaton Cutler-Hammer XTCE012B10B Contactor
The Eaton Cutler-Hammer XTCE012B10B is a heavy-duty 3-pole IEC contactor engineered for reliable motor control in demanding HVACR and industrial applications. This Frame B contactor features a 220V 50Hz / 240V 60Hz AC coil, making it a versatile component for control panels requiring precise switching. Rated for 12 Amps (AC-3) and up to 20 Amps (AC-1), it is ideal for managing motors up to 3 HP at 230V or 7.5 HP at 460V. Built with screw terminals for secure electrical connections, the XTCE012B10B includes one normally open (1NO) auxiliary contact for feedback loops or signaling. Its compact DIN-rail mountable design ensures ease of integration in space-constrained enclosures. This non-reversing contactor meets global standards including UL, CSA, and CE, providing a robust solution for motor starter assemblies and distributed control systems where long electrical life and high-frequency switching are required.
Key Benefits for Technicians- Efficient Footprint: The 45mm Frame B width allows for high-density mounting on standard 35mm DIN rails.
- Enhanced Coil Performance: Optimized 240V coil design reduces power consumption and heat dissipation within the panel.
- Reliable Termination: Heavy-duty screw terminals prevent wire pull-out and maintain low contact resistance under vibration.
- Simplified Integration: Built-in 1NO auxiliary contact eliminates the need for add-on blocks in basic interlocking circuits.
- Global Compatibility: Dual-rated for 50/60Hz frequencies to suit various industrial power supply requirements.
What is the maximum horsepower rating for this contactor?
The XTCE012B10B is rated for 3 HP at 230V and 7.5 HP at 460V for three-phase motor applications.
Can I add additional auxiliary contacts to this Frame B unit?
Yes, this series supports front-side or side-mounted auxiliary contact blocks if your control logic requires more than the standard 1NO contact.
What is the difference between AC-1 and AC-3 ratings for this model?
The AC-3 rating (12A) applies to squirrel-cage motors with normal starting currents, while the AC-1 rating (20A) applies to non-inductive or slightly inductive loads like resistive heating elements.
