  • Product typeIndustrial Electrical Controls & Automation
  • Product colorTransparent
  • Handles 16 A single-phase loads reliably

Industrial Motor Starter

The GE CR101H is a two-pole manual motor starter rated for single-phase operation up to 16 A. It uses a toggle switch operator and carries a 277 V AC maximum voltage rating for industrial control panels.

Voltage and Current Limits

The unit handles 1 hp at 120 V AC and 1 hp at 240 V AC single-phase loads. Thermal overload protection requires one thermal element, and the starter has no integral enclosure so it must be mounted inside a suitable cabinet.

Replacing Older Starters

This model replaces legacy NEMA-style starters that lack a fixed 16 A rating or that use a different pole configuration. The upgrade is worthwhile when a compact 2.31 in depth unit with a toggle operator simplifies panel wiring.

Questions about this item

Which current rating should I choose for a single-phase motor?

The starter is rated at 16 A and supports up to 1 hp at both 120 V AC and 240 V AC, so match the motor full-load current to that 16 A limit.

What does the 1 hp rating mean when the starter is installed?

It indicates the maximum single-phase motor horsepower the contacts can switch at 120 V AC or 240 V AC without exceeding the 16 A current rating.

What voltage does the 277 V AC rating cap in practice?

The 277 V AC maximum voltage rating sets the highest line-to-line voltage the starter can safely interrupt on a single-phase circuit.
