Overview

The GE CR306G102 is a NEMA Size 5 magnetic motor starter built for demanding industrial motor control applications. Rated at 270 amps AC across three poles, it is designed to start, stop, and protect large three-phase motors commonly found in manufacturing, HVAC, and heavy equipment installations. The 120V AC coil provides reliable magnetic switching, and the included overload relay offers thermal protection to prevent motor damage from sustained overcurrent conditions. Both UL Listed and CSA Certified, the unit meets rigorous North American safety and performance standards.

Housed in a NEMA 1 general-purpose enclosure, the CR306G102 is ready for indoor installation in electrical rooms, mechanical spaces, or industrial panels. Its nonreversing configuration suits applications where the motor runs in a single direction, such as pumps, fans, compressors, and conveyors. At 45 inches tall, 17 inches wide, and 11 inches deep, this is a substantial piece of equipment that requires adequate mounting space and should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes.
