- Size 1 Innova/Plus Starter
Innova/Plus
The Innova/Plus is the first across-the-line magnetic starter to
offer both straight-through wiring and gravity drop-out without
bell cranks or other mechanical linkages that limit mechanical
life. The Innova/Plus achieves this combination of features
through its 45
i
angled coil, magnet, armature, and contacts.
This design provides these benefits. Innova/Plus Magnetic
Starters are available in sizes 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Less Contact Bounce
Contact bounce is virtually eliminated
by the combination of the 45 degree
angle and the wedge action contact
configuration.
Lower movable con-
tacts close in a vertical position and
upper movable contacts close in a hor-
izontal position, thus creating oppos-
ing forces that negate contact bounce.

Faster Arc-Quenching
The direction of the arc is away from
any metal components as the con-
tacts open. The arc is confined in the
arc box chamber where it is safely dis-
sipated.

Improved Contact Performance
Positive wedging action is created
when moving parts close vertically
and horizontally with stationary con-
tacts. Such action results in cleaner
contact surfaces, better electrical
continuity and longer contact life.
