A General Electric 300-Line full voltage
magnetic combination starter consists of a
magnetic contactor with a three leg block
overload relay and a manually operated
circuit breaker or disconnect switch. The
disconnect switch may either be fusible or
non-fusible. The non-fusible disconnect
switch provides a means of manually
disconnecting the motor from the line. The
circuit breaker or fusible disconnect switch
provides motor branch short-circuit
protection. The overload relay provides,
motor protection against running and

nameplate to assure free
movement.
5. Mount the starter on a sturdy
vertical support.
6. The overload relay may be reset
manually by depressing and
releasing the reset arm. Overload
relays with an optional normally
open contact are electrically
isolated from the normally closed
contact.
7. Provide motor branch circuit
protection in accordance with the
National Electrical Code.
The encapsulated coil is impervious
to moisture, dirt, and oil. It resists
mechanical damage and failure due
to high humidity. No tools are
required to remove coil.
1. Remove power from device.
2. Press against coil while pulling up
slightly on coil retainers (A—Figure 1
or 2) and move retainers away from
coil.
3. Withdraw magnet assembly, coil,
molded cover, and movable arm

OVERLOAD RELAY
This feature permits the maintenance
man to check for welded relay contacts
by simply depressing the white operator
located at the top of the overload relay
contact housing. When the relay is in the
reset condition, an audible “click” will be
heard when the operator is depressed,
indicating that the contacts are
operating normally. A continuity check
can also be made by disconnecting the
control wiring from the terminals of the
relay and placing a bell set or a
resistance measuring instrument in the
circuit. Connecting either of these across
the relay terminals will indicate the relay
contact is closed until the contact-check
operator is depressed, opening the
circuit.
The exclusive manual contact operation
check gives positive assurance that
contacts have not welded due to short
circuits in the control wiring.
300/400-Line starters and contactors require
virtually no corrective maintenance. Preventive
maintenance will assure many years of
dependable on-line service.
1. Always remove power from device before
performing any maintenance.
2. Keep magnet mating surfaces free of
accumulated dirt or dust.
3. DO NOT OIL OR GREASE the magnet mating
surfaces.
4. Contacts are carefully designed for
maximum life. They need only be replaced
when nearly all the silver tip is gone and the
contact tip support is ex posed. DO NOT FILE
the contacts. Filing or otherwise dressing the
contacts only results in lost tip material and
reduces contactor or starter life.
The ultimate tripping current of the installed
