What are the main elements in a motor starter?
A motor starter consists of two main elements – a contactor and overload protection. The contactor controls the flow of electric current to a motor to repeatedly establish and interrupt an electrical power circuit. Overload protection ensures the motor doesn't draw too much current, which could otherwise result in burnout.
