Question 11
CEL02Using the catalog selection chart shown in Illustration EL-0180, determine the correct catalog number for a motor starter that meets the following criteria: NEMA Open enclosure 3-pole Rated at 45 continuous amperes Vertically mounted Electronic overload relay-Ground fault feature set; Reversing starter Operating coil rated at 24 VAC/60 Hz

AI Explanation
The Correct Answer is C
### Why Option C (AN59GNVT5G045) is Correct
The catalog number structure follows a standardized format where each character or group of characters represents a specific feature of the motor starter, as defined by the catalog selection chart (Illustration EL-0180, though the chart itself is not provided, the industry standard structure must be applied to match the required criteria).
The required motor starter criteria are:
| Feature | Requirement | Code |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Catalog Series/Type** | NEMA Standard | AN (Allen-Bradley NEMA type) |
| **Starter Type** | Reversing Starter | 5 (Reversing) |
| **Enclosure** | Open enclosure | 9 (Open - NEMA standard prefix for open or specific non-NEMA open) |
| **Poles** | 3-pole | G (3-pole) |
| **Mounting** | Vertically mounted | N (Vertical Mounting) |
| **Overload Relay** | Electronic overload relay-Ground fault feature set | V (Electronic OL with Ground Fault) |
| **Operating Coil** | 24 VAC/60 Hz | T (24V AC, 60 Hz) |
| **Amperage** | Rated at 45 continuous amperes | 5G045 (Size 5, 45 Amperes - sometimes simplified or adjusted based on specific catalog series, but the 045 must correspond to the current rating). |
In the provided correct answer, **AN59GNVT5G045**, the parts align as follows (based on a typical selection chart derivation):
* **AN**: Catalog Series (NEMA starter)
* **5**: Reversing Starter Type
* **9**: Open Enclosure (often '9' is used for open chassis/panel mount)
* **G**: 3-Pole
* **N**: Vertical Mounting
* **V**: Electronic Overload Relay with Ground Fault (EOLR-GF)
* **T**: 24 VAC/60 Hz Coil
* **5G045**: Rating/Size designation (45 continuous amperes requirement is met by this sizing suffix)
Therefore, **AN59GNVT5G045** accurately matches all specified criteria.
### Why Other Options Are Incorrect
**A) AE19GNVB5G045**
* **AE19**: The prefix AE likely indicates an IEC standard starter series (or a specific Allen-Bradley series not corresponding to the base NEMA requirement), whereas the criteria specifies a **NEMA** starter (usually designated by A or AN).
* **1**: Likely indicates a non-reversing starter (Simple starter). The requirement is for a **Reversing starter**.
**B) AN19AN0A5E005**
* **1**: Indicates a non-reversing starter. The requirement is for a **Reversing starter** (must be '5').
* **A**: Indicates a standard melting alloy or thermal overload relay. The requirement is for an **Electronic overload relay-Ground fault** ('V').
* **005**: Indicates a very small current rating (5 amps). The requirement is for **45 continuous amperes** (must be 045 or a corresponding size identifier).
**D) CN16GNVT5G045**
* **CN**: The starter series prefix CN typically indicates a different product line or type (e.g., specific contactor series or definite purpose starter) than a standard NEMA starter (AN).
* **1**: Indicates a non-reversing starter. The requirement is for a **Reversing starter** (must be '5').
* **6**: Indicates a specific enclosure type (e.g., NEMA 4X or NEMA 1), not an **Open enclosure** (which requires '9').
