7.6.1.2 As part of a magnetic or solid-state starter (non-combination) 

Although manual motor starters are suitable for manually controlling motors by themselves, they can be combined 
with another controller, such as a contactor, to allow for remote control. This also increases the electrical durability 
of the starter. In these applications, the manual motor starters serve the primary function for motor and branch 
overload protection. 

Manual motor starters can offer advantages versus conventional overload relays, including: 

 

Up to five direct-mount auxiliaries and signaling contacts 

 

Undervoltage and remote (shunt) tripping accessories 

 

Visible trip indication (only MS132 and MS165) 

 

Direct-opening overload protection to ensure functionality even if contactor welds 

 

Coupling adaptors are available for directly mounting to AF contactors and PSR softstarters to reduce installation 
time and panel space. 

Applications include anywhere thermal (bi-metallic) overload relays used today. 

The examples in the figure below show manual motor starters applied in non-combination, single-motor applica-
tions. The use of the additional controller (e.g. contactor) allows these starters to be remotely controlled. In addition 
to providing overload protection, the manual motor starter can also be used as the main branch disconnect when 
marked “Suitable as Motor Disconnect” and installed on the load-side of the branch circuit protective device.
