Description
motor starter consists of a magnetic
relay and a manually operated circuit
breaker or disconnect switch. The
disconnect switch may either be fusible
switch provides a means of manually
disconnecting the motor from the line.
The circuit breaker or fusible disconnect
circuit protection. The overload relay
provides motor protection against
running and stalled motor overload.

yellow trip indicator, located to the right
of the reset arm and visible when the
overload relay is tripped.
Features
1. Strongbox coil.
2. Overload relay, incorporates a dial
for ±10% field adjustment of tripping
current, so that it is no longer
necessary to change heaters to
eliminate such problems as nuisance
tripping in hot weather.
3. Overload trip indicator.
5. Oversized power terminals will
accommodate up to 2 runs of
500 MCM wire.
6. Starter can be disassembled and
inspected in a matter of seconds.
7. Circuit breaker or disconnect switch
is mechanically interlocked with the
enclosure door to prevent opening
the door until the handle is moved
to the OFF position.

the reset arm. Overload relays with an
optional normally open contact are
electrically isolated from the normally
closed contact.
7. Provide motor branch circuit protection
in accordance with the National
