Heaters shown in the table provide a maxi-
mum trip rating of 125% of the motor name-
plate amperes, which is suitable for 40°C
motors. For all other motors select heaters
one code number lower than specified in the
table, which
give a maximum trip rating of approximately
115%.
The tripping current of any heater in a 40°C
ambient is 25% greater than the lower value
of motor amperes shown in the table.
Starters do not provide protection from short
circuits. A protective device should be pro-
vided in accordance with the NEC (CEC in
Canada) and not exceed the values shown in
the table.
Note: If the rating specified is not a standard
size for the circuit breaker manufacturer, use
the next largest size.
Hazardous Voltage.
Can cause death or serious
personal injury.
Automatic reset will continue
to reset on two-wire control.
When not desired, use three-
wire control. Do not use manu-
al trip button when relay is set
in automatic reset position.

Wye-delta starters:
If the motor name-
plate shows the full load delta line current
only, divide this value by 1.73 or multiply by
.58 to select the proper heater rating.
*Ratings specified are for instantaneous
trip circuit breakers.
Maximum current rating for thermalmag-
netic circuit breakers is 250% of maximum
heater FLA.
Maximum current rating of fuses is:
a. 150% of maximum heater FLA for
Class R, K, or L (time delay).
b. 250% of maximum heater FLA for
Class K or L (non-time delay).
c. 300% of maximum heater FLA for
Class J (non-time delay).
If the calculated rating is between standard
sizes, the next larger size may be used. Fuse
size may not exceed switch size.
