CR306C002 - GE Magnetic Starter

CR306C002 - GE Magnetic Starter

The CR306C002 magnetic motor starter is a NEMA Size 1 starter used for controlling three-phase motors in industrial and commercial applications. With a 3-pole design and a 120V AC coil, it's commonly installed in control panels for equipment such as pumps, air compressors, conveyors, HVAC systems, and other motor-driven machinery.

For many maintenance teams, the CR306 series is a familiar platform. If you're replacing an existing starter or repairing a motor control system, using the same series can help simplify installation and reduce compatibility concerns. The open-style design allows the starter to be mounted inside a suitable enclosure or control cabinet, making it a practical choice for both new equipment builds and retrofit projects.

This starter uses a full-voltage, across-the-line starting method, which remains one of the most common ways to start and stop motors in everyday industrial environments. The encapsulated coil design helps support consistent operation, while the compact Size 1 frame fits easily into many control panel layouts. It also features a service-friendly design that can make inspection and maintenance easier when equipment is already in operation.

Whether it's being used in a manufacturing facility, a commercial building, or an equipment room, the CR306C002 is designed to do a straightforward job—provide reliable motor control without adding unnecessary complexity to the system.
