Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a reversing starter and a soft starter?
A reversing starter is used to reverse the direction of rotation of the motor, whereas the soft starter gradually ramps up the voltage to the motor, reducing inrush current and stress on the motor.
What is the difference between a reversing starter and a motor control centre (MCC)?
A reversing starter is used to control the direction of rotation of a motor, while an MCC is a type of electrical distribution and control system used to control multiple motors and other electrical loads.
What is the difference between a non-combination and a combination reversing starter?
A non-combination reversing starter includes the reversing contactor and overload protection, while a combination reversing starter includes the reversing contactor, overload protection and a forward contactor.
How to choose the right size of an overload relay for a reversing starter?
The right size of an overload relay for a reversing starter depends on the current rating of the motor and the type of application.
