Tronic 1.5HP DOL Starter with OFF Switch and Emergency ON Button

Our review

A DOL starter is the simplest way to put an induction motor to work: it connects the motor straight to the supply, so it suits small motors rather than large ones that need reduced-current starting. This Tronic unit is rated at 1.5HP and pairs that direct starting with an integrated OFF switch and an emergency ON push button, which is handy when you want stopping and emergency control at the starter itself. Before buying, confirm your motor's horsepower, supply voltage and current match what the starter is built for, and check whether your installation needs overload protection, since none is stated here. Compare it with star-delta or soft starters if your motor is larger or starts under heavy load.
