Motor starters typically include:
✔ A contactor (electromechanical switch to connect motor power)
✔ A thermal overload relay set to match motor full‑load current
✔ Often a manual or enclosed combo for ease of installation and safety.
For motors in the 9 – 14 A range, Schneider’s GV2 and LE1 starters are commonly used. The GV2P16 and GV2ME16act as manual motor circuit protectors, while Direct Starter Combinations include contactor + overload in a single unit — ideal for typical DOL (direct‑on‑line) motor starting and protection.
