Manual motor starters are electro-
mechanical protection devices for the
main circuit. They are used mainly to
switch motors manually ON/OFF
and protect them fuse less against
short-circuit, overload and phase
failures.
Fuse less protection with a manual
motor starter saves costs, space and
ensures a quick reaction under short-
circuit condition, by switching off the
motor within milliseconds. Fuse less
starter combinations are setup together
with contactors.

Application
The manual motor starters protect the load and the installation against short-circuit and overload. They are three pole
protection devices with thermal tripping elements for overload protection and electromagnetic tripping elements for short-
circuit protection. Furthermore, they provide a disconnect function for safely isolation of the installation and the supply and
can be used for the manual switching of loads.
The manual motor starters have a setting scale in amperes, which allows the direct adjusting of the device without any
additional calculation. In compliance with international and national standards, the setting current is the rated current of the
motor and not the tripping current (no tripping at 1.05 x I, tripping at 1.2 x I; I = setting current).
