Combination starter-protector device

摘要

A combination starter-protector device for a winding circuit of a dynamoelectric machine. The device has a housing with at least one terminal therein adapted for connection with a power source, and means is provided in the housing for controlling starting of the dynamoelectric machine. Means is mounted to the housing for electrical contact and positioning engagement with the starting controlling means and adapted for connection in circuit relation with the winding circuit. Another circuit is provided between the engagement means and the at least one terminal for supplying power to the winding circuit when the engagement means is connected in circuit relation therewith, and the other circuit includes means in the housing and operable generally in response to a certain thermal condition occasioned upon winding circuit overload for interrupting the other circuit.
