GE Manual Motor Starter 16 A
The GE CR101H11 is a single-phase manual motor starter rated at 16 amperes. It suits small motor loads up to 1 horsepower at 120 volts AC or 240 volts AC. Industrial maintenance teams and OEM panel builders use it for direct on-off control of pumps, fans or conveyors.
Toggle operator and NEMA 1 enclosure
A front-mounted toggle switch provides clear visual confirmation of the contact state during routine checks. The NEMA Type 1 enclosure is intended for indoor mounting where falling dirt is the primary concern. Overall depth measures 2.63 inches and overall height 4.16 inches, allowing it to fit standard panel cut-outs.
Replaces legacy fractional-horsepower starters
This unit replaces older toggle-type starters that lack a 277 volt AC maximum rating. The upgrade is worthwhile when a panel requires a 2-pole, 16-ampere device with thermal overload capability and one replaceable thermal element. Buyers needing higher current settings or multi-phase control should select a different frame size.

Questions about this item
What voltage does the 277 V AC rating actually limit on the CR101H11?
The 277 V AC rating is the maximum voltage the starter can safely switch; it caps the supply voltage for both 120 V and 240 V single-phase circuits.
What panel cut-out does the 4.16 in height and 2.63 in depth require?
The starter fits a standard NEMA 1 enclosure; allow at least 4.16 in vertical clearance and 2.63 in depth behind the panel for the toggle and wiring.
How is the single thermal unit fitted, and what step is often missed?
Snap the one required thermal unit into the starter base, then set the dial to match the motor full-load amps — omitting the thermal leaves the motor without overload protection.
