About Motor Switches and Starters

Build-Your-Own Manual Motor Starters
Assemble your own motor starter by combining a switch and a thermal overload element.
Thermal overload elements shut motors off if current exceeds the full-load current rating. To Order: Please specify the full-load current rating of your motor. If the full-load current rating is not shown on the motor’s faceplate, estimate the current rating (given the motor’s horsepower and voltage).
Overload Protectors for Motor Starters
Upgrade motor starters that use thermal overload protection with these solid-state overloads—they don't use heating elements, so enclosure ventilation and cooling is not required. All have a full-load amp adjustment dial to accommodate circuits with different full-load amp ratings.
If the full-load amp rating is not shown on your motor’s faceplate, estimate the current rating (given the motor’s horsepower and voltage).
