Contactors and starters

XT IEC manual motor protectors

Small size. Big impact.

Manual motor control offers ideal space-saving and cost-saving solutions as manual starters, manual motor disconnects, group motor installations, and self-protected manual combination starters. Manual motor starters and protectors provide protection against low-level faults that fuses or circuit breakers on the branch circuit would ignore. In group motor installations more than one motor circuit is protected by a single branch circuit protective device (BCPD).
