CR306E002 - GE Magnetic Starter

CR306E002 - GE Magnetic Starter

The ABB CR306E002 magnetic motor starter is a NEMA Size 3 starter designed for controlling three-phase motors in commercial and industrial applications. With its 3-pole configuration and 120V AC coil, it's commonly used in equipment where dependable motor starting and stopping is required, including pumps, conveyors, compressors, HVAC systems, and production machinery.

If you're replacing an existing CR306 starter or maintaining a motor control system that already uses this platform, the CR306E002 is a familiar option. The open-style design allows it to be installed inside a suitable enclosure or control panel, making it useful for both replacement work and new equipment builds. Because it is part of ABB's long-running 300 Series, many electricians and maintenance technicians are already familiar with its layout, operation, and service procedures.

The starter uses a full-voltage starting method and features an encapsulated coil designed for consistent operation in everyday industrial environments. ABB also incorporates a toolless contactor disassembly feature, which can make inspections and routine maintenance more straightforward when service is required. Rather than adding unnecessary complexity, the CR306E002 focuses on doing a simple job well—providing reliable motor control for equipment that runs day after day.
