Hi, What's the reason for a starter box on any motor? Is it OK to run the motor on just an on-off switch? Inquiring minds want to know.
Thanks
Thanks

With an operator standing over the machine you really don't need overload protection.
every thing above has its points but the one main reason's for a mag starter is that if the machine is running and the power goes out and when the power comes back on the machine will not as the mag starter will self disconnect and the machine will not run tell the start button / switch is pushed or turned on
13 and 14 are comparing apples to oranges. Square D starters are all nema standard. This is a much higher standard than the EU type stuff shown in the other post.
Another detail. Dont know whether you are using a phase converter or not, but someone on here that was had a problem with his starter dropping out when he started the lathe. I had no real experience with phase converters at that time, but knew they have phase imbalance often. There were many replies, and nothing worked. I sent a reply saying rotate the phases on the load side of the converter and told how to do it. He came back next day and said that cured it. A strange problem with an even stranger cure.
