CR306B002 - GE Magnetic Starter

CR306B002 - GE Magnetic Starter

The CR306B002 enclosed magnetic starter is built for straightforward, dependable motor control in everyday industrial and commercial applications. Part of the trusted CR306 series, this unit combines a magnetic motor starter rated at 18 amps with a 120 VAC coil, all housed in an enclosed configuration for clean, protected installation in standard indoor environments.

In real-world use, this is the kind of starter you’ll typically find controlling smaller to mid-size motors in HVAC systems, pumps, compressors, conveyors, and general-purpose machinery. It’s designed for full motor starting and stopping without unnecessary complexity—just reliable magnetic control that responds cleanly when the coil is energized.

Because it’s an enclosed unit, the CR306B002 comes ready for panel or equipment mounting, helping reduce installation time and keeping wiring more organized. It’s a familiar design for technicians who regularly work with CR306 starters, and that familiarity matters when you’re troubleshooting or replacing equipment in the field.

The 18-amp rating makes it a solid fit for light industrial motor loads, while the magnetic operation ensures consistent switching performance under normal operating conditions. Paired with a 120V control circuit, it integrates easily into many standard control system designs.
