1 Product History Freedom The Cutler-Hammer line of contactors and starters dates back to the early 0s in Milwaukee, WI. Changes in coil construction, making the first moisture-proof vacuum with impregnated coils, were innovations in this line of contactors and starters manufactured before the -Star line (now known as the Pre -Star). Eutectic alloy overloads were used later in this design with the design change to the -Star line. A few of the new features of the -Star line of contactors and starters were the first standard three-coil overload relays, new molding compounds, new metals and cast resin coils. A00 The Type F magnetic contactor is the first magnetically controlled contactor in our Westinghouse records. It was open in design, simple in construction and was state-of-the-art due to its magnetically controlled armature. The Type F contactor was replaced by the DE-ION contactor, which featured the Westinghouse trademark DE-ION arc quenching. The DE-ION was followed by the Type DN, Type N and the Type A, today known as the A00. The Type B was developed in the late 0s and was obsoleted two or three years later. The A00 open control is still a current offering. Prior to, some of the larger sizes ( ) were known as GCA and GCD. The Citation line of contactors and starters was introduced in with many new features: the new CI nonwearing totally enclosed permanent air gap magnet structure; dual wound magnet coil with plug-in feature; color coded, twin break dust-safe contacts; and straight-through wiring. Although the Citation line was obsoleted in, replacement contact kits, magnet coils and heater coils will continue to be available. Today, the Freedom contactor, launched in, is the flagship NEMA offering while XT is the IEC offering. 0 0 Volume Aftermarket, Renewal Parts and Life Extension Solutions CA0000E March 0 V-T-
