Freedom Family Features

• A single family of contactors and starters suitable for application in both the IEC and NEMA markets. "Two lines, One family" - the best of both worlds.
• Adjustable Bimetallic Ambient Compensated Overload relays with interchangeable heater packs - available in three basic sizes, covering applications up to 900 hp - reducing the number of different contactor/overload relay combinations that have to be stocked. Fixed heater overloads are optional.
• A full line of snap-on accessories common to both IEC and NEMA devices - top and side mounted auxiliary contacts, solid-state and pneumatic timers, etc.
• Straight-through wiring - line lugs at top, load lugs at bottom.
• Horizontal or vertical mounting on upright panel for application freedom.
• Screw type power terminals have captive, backed-out self-lifting pressure plates with screws - reduced wiring time.
• Accessible terminals for easy wiring. Optional fingerproof shields available to prevent electrical shock.
