What a vantage is there in using combination starters?

A combination starter provides safety for the operator because the cover of the enclosure is interlocked with the external operating handle of the disconnecting means.

Current draw by motor is

An accurate measurement of motor load

A combination starter provides?

Motors may burn out because?

Overloads, high ambient temperatures, poor ventilation

The purpose of a shading coil on an AC electromagnetic pole tip is to

Prevent chattering

The number of magnetic starter polls refers to?

The number of power, motor, or load contacts.

When the reset button does not reestablish to control circuit after an overload the probable cause is

The overload heater is burnt out

AC magnets are made of laminated iron?

To reduce heating effect

If the motor starter is installed according to directions but will not start what is a common cause for the failure to start?

Tripped overload

What causes the AC home or chatter in AC electromagnetic devices?

Under voltage or the contact surface is misaligned.

What safety feature does the combination starter provide that individual motor starter assembly's do not?

When the disconnecting means is open all parts of the starter are accessible however the hazard is reduced because of the readily accessible parts of the starter are not connected to the power line.
