GE CR306A003 Magnetic Motor Starter

This GE CR306A003 is a non-reversing magnetic motor starter rated for 240V AC three-phase operation. It provides thermal overload protection for industrial motor control applications. The unit mounts on a DIN rail and carries a NEMA starter style rating. It suits electricians and maintenance engineers wiring motor circuits up to the listed horsepower ratings.

Check voltage phase and horsepower match

Verify that your supply is 240V AC three-phase and that the motor horsepower falls within the 1 1/2 hp rating at this voltage. Confirm the coil voltage matches your control circuit at 240V AC. Ensure the DIN rail mounting style fits your enclosure layout and that a non-reversing starter meets the application direction needs.

Fits DIN rail enclosures for motor protection

The starter installs directly onto standard DIN rail inside a control panel. It frees panel space by combining contactor and thermal overload functions in one unit. The three-pole design switches all three phases for balanced motor protection. It requires a compatible 240V AC control circuit and upstream branch-circuit protection sized to the motor load.

Questions about this item

What does the GE CR306A003 starter include and what must be purchased separately?

The starter is supplied as a single non-reversing unit with three-pole thermal overload protection. Overload heater elements, control wiring and DIN rail mounting hardware are not included and must be sourced separately.

Which coil voltage and horsepower rating should I select for a 240 V three-phase motor?

Choose the 240 V AC coil version; it delivers 1 1/2 hp at 240 V three-phase and 1 hp at 240 V single-phase, matching the listed ratings for this model.

How does the 1 1/2 hp three-phase rating at 240 V AC translate when the starter is installed?

In a real machine the starter will reliably switch a 1 1/2 hp three-phase motor at 240 V AC, with thermal overload protection calibrated for that load.
