Cutler-Hammer A201K2CA Size 2 Non-Reversing Contactor

The Cutler-Hammer A201K2CA is a robust, non-reversing motor contactor from the Freedom Series, designed for reliable control of three-phase motors in industrial applications. This Size 2 contactor features a 45-amp rating and supports voltages of 208/230/460/575V, making it suitable for motors up to 25 HP at 575V. It includes three power poles and is equipped with auxiliary contacts for enhanced control functionality, such as interlocking or signaling. Key benefits include high durability, easy installation with screw terminals, and compatibility with NEMA standards, offering advantages over similar products like reduced maintenance needs and better arc suppression for longer contact life. Drawbacks may include its age (older model line now under Eaton), potentially requiring adapters for modern systems, and higher power consumption compared to newer electronic contactors. Ideal for HVAC, pumps, conveyors, and manufacturing equipment, it provides dependable performance in demanding environments. Based on attached images, the unit appears used with minor wear, scratches, and some dust, but faceplate details are clear, showing serial/style numbers like 8214C35G08 and C11201. No parent/child assets visible beyond attached auxiliary block.
