Frequently Asked Questions

What is the EATON Definite Purpose Starter A27CGE45C040 used for?

The EATON Definite Purpose Starter is used to start and stop motors in HVAC, refrigeration, and industrial equipment. Its enclosed non-reversing design with integrated bimetallic thermal overloads protects motors from overheating, making it suitable for compressors, fans, and pumps in commercial and light industrial applications.

What are the specifications of the EATON A27CGE45C040 starter?

The EATON A27CGE45C040 is a 3-pole, non-reversing definite purpose starter rated at 45 A with a 480V AC coil. It includes integrated bimetallic elements for thermal protection, so no separate thermal units are required. This enclosed starter is designed for reliable motor control in demanding environments.

Where to buy the EATON A27CGE45C040 starter worldwide?

You can source the EATON A27CGE45C040 starter from 3G Electric, a global industrial equipment distributor. We handle full logistics, customs clearance, and delivery to worldwide destinations. Contact us for availability and lead time; we provide competitive pricing and reliable supply for this EATON definite purpose starter.

How to select the correct EATON definite purpose starter for a motor?

To select the correct EATON starter, match the motor's full-load current (FLC) to the starter's amp rating—here 45 A—and verify coil voltage matches your control circuit (480V AC). Ensure the starter's thermal protection range covers your motor's FLC. For enclosed non-reversing applications, the A27CGE45C040 with integrated bimetallic elements simplifies selection by eliminating separate overload relays.
