About Motor Switches and Starters
More
Heavy Duty Motor Starters
Sealed coils protect these switches against moisture, heat, dirt, and mechanical and thermal stress. They have a solid state overload relay that extends motor life in demanding applications and protects it from overloads—starters will shut the motor off if current exceeds the full-load current rating. The relay is adjustable; set it for the exact overload current needed. All have auxiliary contacts to send a signal or connect to another device, such as an alarm or indicating light. Also known as NEMA starters.
Note: The full-load current rating of your motor must fall within the starter’s overload current range. Match input voltage, also known as coil voltage, to your control circuit; motor voltage may be different. Look for the full-load current rating on the motor’s faceplate, or estimate the current rating (given the motor’s horsepower and voltage).
NEMA contact sizes 0 and 1 are universal mount and fit Cutler-Hammer, GE, and Square D installations.
