Contactor/Starter, Contact Kit, Freedom, Size 3, 3 Poles

The Cutler-Hammer line of contactors and starters dates back to the early 1920s 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 3-Star line (now known as the Pre 3-Star). Eutectic alloy overloads were used later in this design with the design change to the 3-Star line. A few of the new features of the 3-Star line of contactors and starters were the first standard three-coil overload relays, new molding compounds, new metals and cast resin coils.
