Definite Purpose Starters

Electric motors and motor controls are measured by two different standards: the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). 

NEMA is mostly used in North America and started out by urging manufacturers to use a standard frame size for motor control and lighting applications. Since then, it sees to it that manufacturers design components that meet safety factors and design ratings, as well as oversees the configuration and performance parameters of electrical components. IEC oversees the standards for the European electrical communities. IEC-certified components are now widely being used by companies in North America and are low cost, compact and inherently safe to the users.

NEMA motor starters can be used for a wide range of applications. It is necessary to know the voltage and horsepower of the motor when selecting the proper NEMA motor starter.

Schneider Electric Definite Purpose Starters are designed for applications with relatively low duty cycles with current ratings from 20A to 50A. They are ideal for agricultural equipment, HVAC equipment, air compressors and pumps.
