Industrial Motor Starter 240V
The GE CR306C103 is a non-reversing magnetic motor starter rated for three-phase 240V AC operation. It suits industrial control panels that require reliable motor switching with built-in thermal overload protection. Installers working on conveyor, pump or fan circuits will find it matches standard NEMA starter footprints.
DIN Rail Mount Thermal Overload
A transparent housing lets maintenance staff inspect contact status without removing the cover. The unit clips onto standard DIN rail, so panel layout stays tidy and replacement takes minutes. Thermal overload trips protect the motor from sustained overcurrent while allowing normal start-up inrush.
Upgrade From Manual Contactor
This starter replaces a plain contactor when code or insurance demands overload protection. The jump is worth it on 7.5 hp three-phase 240V loads or 10 hp at 480V where thermal trips prevent winding damage. It does not serve reversible applications or single-phase 120V circuits above 2 hp.

Questions about this item
What does the 240 V AC coil voltage cap for this NEMA starter?
The 240 V AC coil voltage matches the maximum voltage rating of 240 V AC for the CR306 series non-reversing magnetic motor starter.
What mounting style does the CR306C103 require?
The starter uses DIN rail mounting, so a standard DIN rail is needed for installation.
How is the overload protection set on this thermal unit?
The thermal overload protection is built into the CR306 series; ensure the heater elements match the motor full-load current before energising.
