General Electric CR306CO Magnetic Motor Starter

General Electric CR306CO Magnetic Motor Starter, size 1, is a compact motor-control device designed to switch motor circuits in electrical panels and industrial equipment. It is rated for up to 600 volts and 27 amperes, indicating the maximum voltage and current it can safely switch on the motor side. As a magnetic starter, the CR306CO uses an electromagnet to actuate contacts in response to a control signal, enabling a connected motor to start or stop as part of an automated control system. This specific model, CR306CO, provides a standard-frame form for integration where space and mounting constraints apply, making it suitable for control panels and wiring in commercial and light-industrial applications. When selecting this starter, ensure the motor’s operating voltage and full-load current stay within the 600 V and 27 A ratings to maintain proper performance and electrical safety.
