I was looking for a motor starter with overloads and I saw a lot of Adjustable Current Motor Circuit Protectors for sale. I do not understand how they work. I understand that that the supply wires run through them and they sense current flow. If the current is to high they do something but I do not know what they do at that point. They can not, by themselves, switch off the power. Do you have to have a contactor to do the actual switching?
Do they just switch open a control voltage signal to the contactor coil? How do they get reset? Is it automatic reset or is there a switch to push?
