<span class="MsoHeading7"><b><font size="4" color="#0000FF">Why do you need a motor starter? (a couple of basic reasons/explanations)</font></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A starter is made of 2 main components; a contactor and an overload.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Starting</strong> a motor generates a large in-rush of electricity and closing of the gap of the power circuit can generate a violent arc of electricity. The contactor portion of the starter closes the contacts on all phases of the current very quickly and positively, minimizing the damaging/dangerous arc. The contactor also has protective shielding to help contain this arc. The same condition can occur when the motor is turned off. Starters have contacts that are made of very strong, durable materials to provide many years of safe starting and stopping of motors. Starters are sized to the motor/voltage. (see the starter sizing chart and heater overload charts (link at top of this page) </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Starters also have an overload protective device that can monitor the load or amperage draw that he motor is consuming. This device is sized or set to a pre-determined maximum load the motor can safely handle. When a condition occurs that the motor exceedes the set load, the overload device opens the motor starter control circuit and the motor is turned off. Overloads come in a variety of types including a small heating type elements or solid state electronic devices. The starter is a protection device for the motor. These overloads can also monitor for phase loss and single phase conditions. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Starters can be turned on by much lower (safe) control voltages. For example a starter controlling a 480V 3 phase motor can be turned on by a 24v thermostat. This provides a safe voltage for the remote devices such as switches, pilot lights, thermostats etc....By using low voltage control circuits, many small devices can be added to a motor starter to enable it to control or be controlled by simple to complex computer based systems. A good example would be a building energy management system can easily control many starters.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">EMSCO intigrates many low voltage devices into it's starters and can design and build starters to manage many aspects of complex motor operation, such as complex cooling tower applications. </p>

<p class="style1">ENCLOSURE TYPE DETAIL</p>
<p><strong>Enclosure Types <br>
</strong>Enclosures provide mechanical and electrical protection for operator and equipment. Brief descriptions of the various types of enclosures offered by Cutler-Hammer are given below. See NEMA Standards Publication No. 250 for more comprehensive descriptions, definitions and/or test criteria. </p>
<p><strong>NEMA Type 1 (Conforms to IP40) for Indoor Use <br>
</strong>Suitable for most applications where unusual service conditions do not exist and where a measure of protection from accidental contact with enclosed equipment is required. Designed to meet tests for rod entry and rust resistance. Enclosure is sheet steel, treated to resist corrosion. Depending on the size, knockouts are provided on the top, bottom and sometimes on the side. </p>
<p><strong>NEMA Type 3R (Conforms to IP52) for Outdoor Use <br>
</strong> Primarily intended for applications where falling rain, sleet or external ice formations are present. Gasketed cover. Designed to meet tests for rain, rod entry, external icing and rust resistance. Enclosure is sheet steel, treated to resist corrosion. Depending on the size, a blank cover plate is attached to the top (for a conduit hub) and knockouts are provided on the bottom. Cover-mounted pilot device holes are provided and covered with hole plugs. </p>
<p><strong>NEMA Type 4 (Conforms to IP65) for Indoor or Outdoor Use <br>
</strong>Provides measure of protection from splashing water, hose-directed water and wind blown dust or rain. Constructed of sheet steel with gasketed cover. Designed to meet tests for hose-down, external icing and corrosion protection. Enclosure has two water- tight hubs (power) installed top and bottom of one control hub installed in bottom - depending on size. Cover-mounted pilot device holes are provided and covered with hole-plugs. </p>
<p><strong>NEMA Type 4X (Conforms to IP65) for Indoor or Outdoor Use <br>
</strong>Provides measure of protection from splashing water, hose-directed water, wind blown dust, rain and corrosion. Constructed of stainless steel with gasketed cover. Designed to meet the same tests as Type 4 except the enclosure must pass a 200-hour salt spray corrosion resistance test. </p>
<p><strong>NEMA Type 7 for Hazardous Gas Locations <br>
</strong>For use in Class I, Group C or D indoor locations as defined in the National Electrical Code. NEMA Type 7 enclosures must withstand the pressure generated by explosion of internally trapped gases and be able to contain the explosion so that gases in the surrounding atmosphere are not ignited. Under normal operation, the surface temperature of the enclosure must be below the point where it could ignite explosive gases present in the surrounding atmosphere. Designed to meet explosion, temperature and hydrostatic design tests. </p>
<p><strong>NEMA Type 9 for Hazardous Dust Locations <br>
</strong>For use in Class II, Group E, F or G indoor locations as defined in the National Electrical Code. Heat generating devices within the enclosure are designed to maintain the surface temperature of the enclosure below a point where it could ignite the dust-air mixture in the surrounding atmosphere or cause discoloration of surface dust. These enclosures are designed to meet tests for dust penetration, temperature and aging of gasket (if used). </p>
<p><strong>NEMA Type 12 (Conforms to IP62) for Indoor Use <br>
</strong>Provides a degree of protection from dripping liquids (non-corrosive), falling dirt and dust. Designed to meet tests for drip, dust and rust resistance. Constructed of sheet steel. Hole plugs cover pilot device holes. There are no knockouts, hub cover plates or hubs installed. Many Cutler-Hammer NEMA Type 12 enclosures are suitable for use in Class II, Division 2, Group G and Class III, Divisions 1 and 2 locations as defined in the National Electrical Code. </p>
<p><strong>NEMA Type 12 Safety Interlock </strong><br>
The Type 12 enclosure can be ordered with a safety interlock on the door that can be padlocked off. A vault-type door latch system is used. A tapered plate holds the gasketed door tight against the case edge to provide a positive seal. The special door interlock consists of the door handle and a screwdriver operated cover defeater. The cover defeater and the disconnect interlock defeater are both recessed screwdriver operated devices which cannot be anipulated with other types of tools. </p>
