<p>When it comes to ensuring the reliable operation of motors in industrial and commercial settings, a dependable manual motor starter is crucial. This particular model stands out with its robust specifications tailored for demanding environments.</p><p>Rated for 690 VAC, this starter can handle a current of up to 20 A, making it suitable for various applications. It boasts an impressive rated insulation voltage of 1000 V, providing an added layer of safety against electrical faults. The power loss is maintained at a low 11.16 W, enhancing efficiency and reducing energy waste.</p><p>One of the key features is its rotary handle actuator type, which ensures ease of use while offering precise control over motor operations. The screw terminal type allows for secure electrical connections with a tightening torque specification of 4 N-m. Additionally, its IP20 degree of protection safeguards against solid objects larger than 12 mm but requires careful handling in dusty or damp environments.</p><p>The physical dimensions are compact yet substantial: with a width of 55 mm, height of 142.65 mm, and depth of 122.1 mm. These measurements ensure that the starter fits comfortably within standard enclosures without compromising on performance.</p><p>Operational temperature ranges from -25 to 60 degrees Celsius, allowing it to function effectively in both cold and warm climates typical in Australia. For storage purposes, it can withstand temperatures as low as -50 degrees Celsius and as high as 80 degrees Celsius.</p><p>In terms of standards and approvals, this manual motor starter meets rigorous international benchmarks including CSA C22.2 No.14 and several IEC/EN standards (60947-1,-2,-4-1) along with UL certification (UL60947-4-1), ensuring compliance with global safety requirements.</p><p>With a rated power capacity reaching up to 7.5 kW and an electrical connection facilitated by screws, this device supports various types of wiring configurations—be it flexible or rigid—with capacities ranging from small gauge wires up to substantial stranded cables (up to 50 sq-mm).</p><p>The rated short circuit current stands at an impressive 300 A while offering a breaking capacity reaching up to 100 kA—critical factors that contribute toward preventing damage during unexpected electrical surges or faults.</p><p>For user convenience and adaptability across different operational needs—the current setting range spans from 14 A up through the full capacity at 20 A; meanwhile overload release settings start precisely at the lower threshold value (14 A). </p><p>Switching relies on thermomagnetic technology combining thermal overload protection alongside magnetic short-circuit intervention—delivering comprehensive safeguarding mechanisms within one efficient package idealized by professionals seeking reliability without excess complexity in their installations.</p>
