Describe a manual motor starter.

What will be an ideal response?


A manual motor starter is a device where the power contacts that actually energize the motor load are manually operated by hand, and can be similar to a simple toggle switch used to operate a garbage disposal. A manual motor starter unit, unlike a simple toggle switch, consists of a horsepower rated switch that carries the motor load current, with a thermal overload device that carries the full motor current in each phase to provide overload protection.
