Enclosed Motor Starter · 09 non-reversing 18A 240V coil 5 hp 3-phase 3 hp 1-phase no overload Eaton ECX09F5BBA

What this product is for

This enclosed motor starter is used to start and stop a single motor in washdown, damp, dusty, or corrosive areas where a non-metallic Type 4X/IP66 enclosure is preferred. It is a non-combination, non-reversing starter for across-the-line motor control.

Use for

Use for pumps, fans, compressors, and similar motor loads within the published horsepower limits. It is commonly selected where a 240V control coil is required and where the installer will pair the starter with the correct overload range for the motor full-load current.

Avoid for

Avoid for reversing duty, combination starter applications requiring integral disconnect or branch protection, or installations where the overload relay must already be factory completed. Do not use this catalog number as a final selection until overload range is confirmed against the motor nameplate FLA.

Best for

Best for electricians and maintenance teams needing an enclosed IEC starter in a compact non-metallic housing with environmental protection beyond a basic indoor Type 1 enclosure.

Installed in

Typically installed in mechanical rooms, agricultural buildings, light industrial areas, outdoor equipment locations, and wet process areas. The enclosure family is listed for indoor and outdoor use and uses a polycarbonate insulated housing.

Why this product exists

This model provides a compact enclosed starter option where a standard open contactor is not suitable. Eaton's ECX non-metallic line is intended to provide enclosed motor control with a small footprint and higher environmental protection.

Compared with similar products

Compared with an open starter, this unit adds an enclosed non-metallic housing for better protection in wet or dirty locations. Compared with a combination starter, it does not include a disconnect or branch-circuit protective device. Compared with a completed overload version, this catalog number requires the correct overload selection based on motor FLA. Typical motor branch selection and overload setup should follow the motor nameplate, installation conditions, and local electrical code.
