General Electric Products CR306B002 120V 18A 3Ph Motor Starter

The General Electric Products CR306B002 is a 120-volt, 18-amp motor starter designed specifically for three-phase motors, commonly found in industrial settings. It serves as a control switch, controlling the motor's start and stop while offering vital safety measures. A magnetic field is produced when a coil is energized by a control signal that is sent to the starter. A contactor, which functions as a heavy-duty switch and is engaged by this magnetic field, permits electricity to flow to the motor, thereby initiating its functioning. In order to prevent damage, the CR306B002 also has overload protection, which cuts power automatically if the motor consumes too much current. It also frequently has an integrated disconnect switch for securely cutting the motor's power during maintenance, as well as a manual reset button for restarting the motor in the event of a trip.
