Motor Starters We Offer

Wistex carries a full selection of motor starters to match your specific voltage, horsepower, and enclosure requirements.

Magnetic Motor Starters

Magnetic Motor Starters

Magnetic motor starters pair an electromechanical contractor with an overload relay to protect motors from short circuits and current surges. Ideal for motors ranging from fractional 200 HP, these starters are essential in automated systems.

Manual Motor Starters

A compact and economical option, manual motor starters feature built-in short-circuit protection and are commonly used in fans, small pumps, and other small small motors. No separate contactor required, making them perfect for limited-space installations.

Manual Motor Starters
Combination Starters

Combination Starters

Combination starters bundle a magnetic starter with a fused or breaker disconnect inside a NEMA-rated enclosure. These all-in-one units simplify installation and ensure OSHA lock-out compliance for motor-driven equipment.

Applications for Motor Starters

Wistex motor starters are built for performance in a wide range of industrial and commercial environments, including:

  • HVAC fans & compressors
  • Water/wastewater pumps
  • Conveyors
  • Machine tools

Explore our full range of contactors and overhead relays to complete your motor control system.

When you choose Wistex, you’re getting trusted brand names like ABB, Weg, Noark, and Eaton, along with expert engineering support to help you select the right starter. Our ready-to-ship inventory, quick quotes, and product warranties make us a reliable partner in keeping your operations running.

Motor Starters FAQs

Find the answers to your common motor starter and sizing questions.

A motor starter safely manages the inrush current when motors start up, prevents overload damage, and provides a reliable means to isolate the motor for maintenance or repair.

To size a starter, match it to your motor's Full Load Amperage (FLA), duty cycle, and ambient conditions. Use the correct NEMA size. For example, NEMA Size 1 is common for motors up to 7.5 HP at 230V.

NEMA motor starters are built with a more conservative, oversize approach, while IEC starters follow a tighter, performance-based standard. NEMA is preferred in North America; IEC is widely used internationally and typically offers more modular design options.
