Magnetic Motor Starters shall be enclosed in a general purpose electrical enclosure with the appropriate environmental rating. Starters shall consist of a horsepower rated magnetic contactor with a minimum of one Normally Open and one Normally Closed auxiliary contacts and solid state electronic overload relay. Overload relay shall protect all three phases with a wide range current setting and trip class to allow field adjustment for specific motor FLA. Interchangeable heater elements are not acceptable. Overload relay shall provide phase failure, phase loss, locked rotor and stall protection. Provide a manual reset pushbutton on the starter cover to restore normal operation after a trip or fault condition. Each starter shall include an installed 50VA control power transformer (CPT) with protected secondary. The CPT must accept the available line voltage and the control voltage shall not exceed 120V. Installed accessories shall include Hand-Off-Auto operation switch with 22mm style operator interfaces. Include LED pilot light indicators for Hand, Off, Auto, Run and Overload conditions. All pilot devices shall be water tight and dust tight.

When remotely controlled by an automation system, the starter shall include remote run terminals which accept both a voltage input signal and a contact closure. The voltage run input shall accept both AC and DC signals including 24VAC, 120VAC, 24VDC and 48VDC to allow direct connection of the transistorized automation signal to the starter. In applications where the motor is interlocked with a damper or valve, the actuator control must reside within the starter enclosure. The starter must provide a voltage output to operate the actuator to open the damper or valve without closing the motor circuit. The starter will only close the motor circuit and start the motor after it has received a contact closure from a limit or end switch confirming the damper or valve position. The starter shall provide a provision for Fireman’s Override operation. When activated, the starter will run the motor in any mode (Hand, Off or Auto) regardless of other inputs or lack of inputs either manual or auto. The purpose of the Fireman’s Override input is to act as a smoke purge function. Fireman’s Override has priority over the Emergency Shutdown input. If the starter is controlled by a fire alarm or life safety system, the starter shall include an Emergency Shutdown input which will disable the starter from operating in either Hand or Auto mode regardless of other inputs either manual or auto. Manufacturer shall provide and install tags with engraved white lettering to designate equipment served.

Enclosed combination starters shall include all of the magnetic starter requirements in addition to a disconnecting method. All disconnects shall include a lockout mechanism when in the off position. Motor circuit protectors (MCP) shall be provided as the acceptable form of disconnecting means. The MCP shall be a UL Listed 508 current limiting manual motor starter with magnetic trip elements only. The MCP shall carry a UL 508F rating (up to 100A frame size) which provides for coordinated short circuit rating for use with the motor contactor and provides a minimum interrupting rating of 30,000 AIC for the combination starter. 

The starter or combination starter shall be UL Listed.
