Cutler-Hammer CE15DNS3 Series B1 Freedom Series IEC Contactor with 120V Coil

The Cutler-Hammer CE15DNS3 Series B1 is a robust, non-reversing IEC contactor designed for industrial motor control and power switching applications. Part of the Freedom Series, this 3-pole contactor offers reliable performance in controlling AC motors up to 12A, making it ideal for use in manufacturing, HVAC systems, pumps, and conveyor belts. Key features include a compact design for easy DIN rail mounting, built-in auxiliary contacts for enhanced control circuits, and a 120V AC coil for standard voltage compatibility. Advantages over similar products include superior arc suppression for longer contact life, high mechanical endurance (up to 10 million operations), and compliance with UL, CSA, and IEC standards for safety and reliability. Benefits include reduced downtime due to its durable construction and easy maintenance, while drawbacks may involve higher initial cost compared to basic relays and the need for proper overload protection. Based on image analysis, the unit appears used with minor wear and dust, but functional; no visible damage to contacts or housing. Faceplate details confirm model CE15DNS3, Series B1, with ratings including 120V coil and standard AC3 duty. No parent/child assets attached. Estimated market price for used condition: $50-$100 USD, based on recent eBay and industrial surplus listings.
