This handy 5.5 kW automatic 3-phase starter can be used to reduce the current required when starting up induction motors. These types of starters are best-suited for use with induction motors rated below 5 hp.

Motor starters work best with overload protection devices to prevent short circuits or overheating. This particular model doesn't come with one, but you can one from the RF38 series to match the full-load current of your motor – for example, stock no. 685-130.
