EATON
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about EATON from 3G Electric.
What are the key differences between Eaton's M22 and 10250T series push buttons?
The M22 series is a modular 22 mm mounting size line, available in metallic or plastic materials, with momentary or maintained actions, and supports a wide range of contact blocks, LED modules, and key-operated selectors. The 10250T series is a heavy-duty 30 mm mounting size line, typically metallic, with higher current ratings and robust construction for demanding industrial environments. The 10250T series often includes features like push-to-test pilot lights and extended-length operators, while M22 focuses on compact modularity and customization.
Does Eaton offer motor starters with electronic overload protection for reversing applications?
Yes, Eaton provides NEMA magnetic motor starters with electronic overload protection in reversing configurations. For example, the AN59GN0A5E020 is a NEMA Size 2, 45 A, three-phase reversing starter with a 110/120V AC coil and electronic overload. These starters include auxiliary contacts and pilot lights for status indication, suitable for applications requiring forward/reverse motor control.
What is the IP rating of Eaton's SL7 tower light mounting base?
The Eaton SL7-CB-T-400 mounting base for SL7 series tower lights has an IP66 rating. This indicates it is dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets, making it suitable for outdoor or washdown environments. The base includes a spring-loaded terminal connection and a Banjo Belt for secure pole mounting.
Can Eaton's M22 keyed selector switches be ordered without contacts?
Yes, Eaton offers M22 keyed selector switches as panel-mounted operators without contacts, such as the M22M-WRS3. This 3-position maintained switch allows key removal in any position and requires separate contact blocks to be added for electrical switching. This modular approach lets buyers configure the switch for specific circuit requirements.
What types of overload protection are available in Eaton's definite purpose starters?
Eaton's definite purpose starters, like the B27CGC15AP60, include integrated bimetallic thermal overload elements. These provide thermal protection without requiring separate thermal units. The starters are available in non-reversing configurations with 2 or 3 poles, current ratings up to 15 A, and coil voltages such as 120V AC, designed for HVAC and refrigeration applications.
Are Eaton's 10250T pilot lights available with push-to-test functionality?
Yes, Eaton's 10250T series pilot lights, such as the 10250T297LRP2A, include a push-to-test feature. This allows operators to verify the LED illumination is functioning without removing the unit from the panel. The pilot light is rated for 120V AC maximum supply voltage and has a 30 mm panel mounting size.
