Eaton Cutler-Hammer XTCE032C10B Contactor

The Eaton Cutler-Hammer XTCE032C10B Contactor is a specialized 3-pole IEC contactor engineered for high-cycle motor control in commercial HVACR and industrial automation panels. As a Frame C (45 mm) non-reversing unit, it delivers a 32A AC-3 inductive rating and supports 45A AC-1 resistive loads, making it ideal for managing heavy compressors and electric heat banks. This model features a 240V AC coil (compatible with 220V 50Hz / 240V 60Hz systems) and includes a base-mounted 1NO auxiliary contact for essential signaling or interlocking circuits. Designed for seamless integration, it supports both DIN rail and screw mounting, providing technicians with versatile installation options. Built to rigorous UL, CSA, and CE standards, the XTCE032C10B ensures reliable switching performance and is A2L refrigerant certified, meeting modern safety requirements for the latest generation of HVAC equipment.

Key Benefits

• High HP Capacity: Rated for up to 10 HP at 230V and 20 HP at 460V 3-phase applications.
• A2L Certified: Specifically tested and approved for use with mildly flammable A2L refrigerants in HVACR systems.
• Compact Frame C: The 45 mm width optimizes limited rail space in crowded control cabinets.
• Expandable Logic: Integrated 1NO auxiliary contact can be supplemented with front-mounted auxiliary blocks for complex control schemes.
• Rugged Termination: Equipped with secure screw terminals to prevent heat-related failures at high current draws.

Common Questions Can I use this contactor for single-phase applications? Yes, while it is a 3-pole contactor, it can be wired for single-phase loads by utilizing two poles, provided the 32A rating is not exceeded. What overload relay is compatible with the XTCE032C10B? For full motor protection, this contactor is designed to be paired with Eaton XTOB series thermal overload relays, which mount directly to the load side. Is the coil field-replaceable? Yes, Frame C XTCE contactors allow for coil replacement if the control circuit voltage needs to be changed or if a coil burnout occurs.
