MANUAL MOTOR STARTERS

Fractional Manual Starters

Easy, simple starting of Motors up to 1 HP

Sprecher + Schuh Fractional Manual Starters (FMS) consist of a snap switch combined with a thermal overload device operating on the solder-ratchet principle. To reset the overload mechanism, the switch lever is moved to the OFF position. The motor can be restarted by simply pushing the switch lever to the ON position. The switch is designed to prevent being held closed under a sustained motor overload.
