Full Voltage Starters
3-Phase 250 to 900 HP, Non-Reversing
and Reversing 50 / 60 Hz., NEMA Sizes
6–8 Full Voltage Starters are used for
across the line starting of squirrel-cage
induction motors and the primary control
functions for wound rotor motors. In
addition, they can be used for control of
power for static or resistive loads such
as lighting and heating. They provide
the lowest cost, least maintenance, and
minimum space requirements of any
magnetic starters where inrush current
limitations do not restrict their use. UL
Listed and CSA Certified.
Overload Protection
Siemens solid-state overload relay protec-
tion is provided standard for starter sizes
6 through 8. Improvements in motor
designs and manufacturing capabilities
have resulted in decreasing physical
motor size to obtain the same horse-
power, making them more sensitive to
overloads. Previous motors had a higher
tolerance for overloads and made applica-
tion of electromechanical overload relays
satisfactory for protection. The bigger the
motor, the more there is riding on mar-
ginal protection and high rewind costs.
Features
½ Ambient Compensation from –25°C to
+55°C.
½ Wide Adjustable Current Tripping
Range.
½ Detection of Overload, Phase Loss
and Phase Unbalance.
½ Isolated Contacts, 1-Normally Closed
and 1-Normally Open Alarm Circuit
Contact.
½ Reset Button with Trip-Free Feature.
½ Clear Plastic Sealable Cover to
Prevent Unauthorized Tampering.
½ UL Listed and CSA Certified.
