Size 2 motor starter horsepower. Nema starters and contactors are selected according to their nema size from size 00 to size 9. Nema starters have interchangeable heater elements and makes nema starters attractive in projects where the motor specification is not known until the start up date. Enter the motor horsepower and voltage. Class 8536 and class 8736 type s magnetic starters are used to switch ac inductive motors with a variety of overload relay options.
Nema national electrical manufacturers association contactors and motor starters are rated by sizes. To select a nema starter only horsepower and voltage are needed. This calculator will also give you motor amps and recommended breaker size starter size heater size and conduit size. Motor overload protection is provided by melting alloy type thermal overload relays.
There are four basic motor control options available. Specifying and sizing motor starters. Class 8536 starters are available in nema sizes 00 7. To properly size a nema style full voltage across the line motor starter the only information required is the motor horsepower and voltage.
