Hi everyone,I never see any posts of motor starters.Every piece of machinery in the shop has motor starters as required by code.As i understand in the event of a power failure or blackout a relay or magnetic contactor will disconnect the line from the motor.Imagine a power outage while running a machine.Without the starter when the power resumes your machine powers up again.When is a starter required?They are expensive at least in my shop which has 575V3 phase.
